a machine). Based on the operating system you are deploying, a workstation license or a server

license will be used.

If no appropriate license is available on the license server, the software can either stop deployment

to the machine, or use an alternative license.

Tip: To force a machine license to be used for a particular machine, you can specify the Licensing setting as an

individual setting (p. 130) for that machine.

When you deploy a workstation operating system (p. 15) and you selected the Use a server license

automatically option, the software will use a server license if no workstation license can be used.

The Licensing setting also applies to the Acronis Universal Deploy licenses independently from the

main licenses. For example, if a workstation license for performing deployment is found, but a

workstation license for applying Acronis Universal Deploy is not, Acronis Snap Deploy 4 may use a

server license for Acronis Universal Deploy, but still use a workstation license for performing

deployment.

Example

Suppose that you are deploying a workstation operating system. Consider the following settings:

During deployment: Use deployment licenses

If there are no deployment licenses: Use a machine license automatically

If the license server is out of workstation licenses: Use a server license automatically

With these settings, the software will use a license based on the following priority:
a)

Deployment workstation license

b)

Machine workstation license

c)

Deployment server license

d)

Machine server license

If you change the second setting from Use a machine license automatically to Stop deployment, the

software will use only deployment licenses. The software will use the following priority:
a)

Deployment workstation license

b)

Deployment server license
