The Acronis Backup & Recovery product line has been renamed and the licensing policy has been simplified. Please see the full renaming table below.

This information does not apply to Acronis True Image.

Key changes

• Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 “Standalone Version” becomes Acronis Backup 11.5 product family for smaller environment. 
• Acronis vmProtect 9 becomes Acronis Backup 9 for VMware for smaller environments;
• Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Advanced Server becomes Acronis Backup Advanced 11.5 suite for larger environments
• Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Workstation and Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Advanced Workstation become Acronis Backup 11.5 for PC and Acronis Backup Advanced 11.5 for PC respectively.
• Starting from Update 3 (build #38573) Universal Restore is included into the main license of Acronis Backup. Starting from Update 5 Acronis Universal Restore is available as a separate tool by purchasing an Acronis Backup license.
• Starting from Update 3 for Acronis Backup Advanced 11.5 Universal Restore and Deduplication are included in the main license of Acronis Backup Advanced.
  This means you need to use only base license in Update 3 or later - you will not a need separate Acronis Universal Restore and Deduplication licenses. tarting from Update 5 Acronis Universal Restore is available as a separate tool by purchasing an Acronis Backup license.
  If you had a separate license for Universal Restore and/or Deduplication, you simply install new build and keep using the product successfully with the features enabled. If you did not have a separate license for Acronis Universal Restore and/or Deduplication, you will have this functionality automatically included after you install Update 3. If you are using an Advanced version, please update your Agents as well in order to have the functionality enabled.
• Starting from Update 3 licenses enabling application-aware backup/restore are available for purchase with Acronis Backup Advanced only (not available for Acronis Backup). Application-aware backup is enabled in Acronis Backup Advanced for VMware/Hyper-V/RHEV/Citrix XenServer/Oracle. All previously purchase licenses stay fully functional.
• We introduce new types of Online Backup Subscriptions. Please read the following KB to prepare for Online backup renewal process: Acronis Backup: Renewing to Cloud Volume Subscription.
