 A machine license enables an unlimited number of deployments to a particular machine. You
may want to use this type of license if you perform deployment to the same machine on a
regular basis.
 A deployment license enables a single successful deployment to a machine. You may want to
use this type of license if you perform deployment to the same machine once or infrequently. If
deployment under a deployment license fails, you can perform another deployment under the
same license.
You can obtain a license key that corresponds to a number of deployment licenses.
When setting up a deployment operation, you can choose (p. 95) whether a deployment license can
be automatically used instead of a machine license, or conversely.
1.5.2 Server licenses and workstation licenses
In terms of the operating system you can deploy, a license can be one of two types:
 A server license enables deploying a server operating system.
 A workstation license enables deploying a workstation operating system. A workstation license is
needed to deploy a disk or volume that does not contain an operating system, if the target
machine has not been assigned a machine license before.
Linux is considered as a server operating system. See also the complete list of supported server and
workstation operating systems (p. 15).
If Acronis Snap Deploy 4 fails to identify the type of operating system, the operating system is
considered as a workstation operating system.
When setting up a deployment operation, you can choose (p. 95) whether a server license can be
automatically used instead of a workstation license for deploying a workstation operating system.
1.5.3 Licenses for Acronis Universal Deploy
Acronis Universal Deploy is an add-on to Acronis Snap Deploy 4 and has its own license keys.
The Acronis Universal Deploy licenses are counted, used and upgraded in the same way as the
Acronis Snap Deploy 4 licenses:
 Acronis Universal Deploy has licenses for server and workstation operating systems.
 A Universal Deploy license can be per-machine (allowing an unlimited number of Universal
Deploy steps) or per-deployment (allowing a single Universal Deploy step).
You need one Universal Deploy license per target machine.
You do not need a license to install Universal Deploy. However, do not forget to add the Universal
Deploy licenses to the license server before starting the deployment. If the licenses are not found
during deployment, the Universal Deploy step will be skipped.
1.5.4 Trial version of Acronis Snap Deploy 4
The Acronis Snap Deploy 4 trial version has all the functionality of the full version.
To use the trial version, you need to obtain a trial license. You can obtain a server or workstation trial
license.
