4.5.3.1

Installation of Acronis Snap Deploy 4 Management Console

Acronis Snap Deploy 4 Management Console is an administrative tool for local and remote access to

Acronis servers and Acronis Snap Deploy 4 Management Agent. Install Acronis Snap Deploy 4

Management Console on any machine from which you prefer to operate.

Installation of Acronis Snap Deploy 4 Management Console also includes the media builders for

creating an Acronis bootable media and a bootable media based on Windows Preinstallation

Environment (WinPE).

Once Acronis Snap Deploy 4 Management Console is installed, you can install other components

remotely (p. 47).

4.5.3.2

Installation of Acronis Snap Deploy 4 License Server

Acronis Snap Deploy 4 License Server is a component that tracks licenses of Acronis products. Install

Acronis Snap Deploy 4 License Server on a machine accessible to Acronis Snap Deploy 4 OS Deploy

Server. Consider installing both products on the same machine.

Installation of Acronis Snap Deploy 4 License Server also includes Acronis Snap Deploy 4 License

Server Management Tool. This is a command-line utility for controlling the license server.

Alternatively, you can control the license server by using Acronis Snap Deploy 4 Management

Console.

Note: If you have already installed a license server that came with another Acronis product, you will still need to

install Acronis Snap Deploy 4 License Server. You can install both license servers on the same machine. The

machine will then act as a common license server for all Acronis products.

After installation, Acronis Snap Deploy 4 License Server launches automatically as a Windows service.

When installing Acronis Snap Deploy 4 License Server, you can add the license keys to it. You can add

license keys at a later time, either by using the management console (p. 54) or in the command-line

mode (p. 56).

4.5.3.3

Installation of Acronis Snap Deploy 4 OS Deploy Server

Acronis Snap Deploy 4 OS Deploy Server is a component that performs centralized deployment

through the network with the help of bootable components called agents.

Before installing Acronis Snap Deploy 4 OS Deploy Server, you need to install Acronis Snap Deploy 4

License Server (p. 45) and import license keys to it. You can install both servers on the same machine.

If Acronis Snap Deploy 4 License Server is not installed on the machine where you are installing

Acronis Snap Deploy 4 OS Deploy Server, the setup program will ask you to specify a license server.

Browse to the server, or enter its name or IP address.

Note: We recommend specifying the license server by its machine name. If you specify the license server by its IP

address, Acronis Snap Deploy 4 OS Deploy Server will not be able to find the license server if this address

changes.
There is one exception to this recommendation: if your license server machine has non-English characters in its

host name, you need to specify license server by IP address. Currently Unicode is not supported in Acronis Snap

Deploy 4 communication between components, so Acronis Snap Deploy 4 OS Deploy Server will not be able to

resolve the license server name properly if it contains non-English characters (i.e. if it contains Unicode

symbols).
