Licensing schemes

Acronis Cyber Backup products have 2 licensing schemes: subscription licenses and perpetual licenses.

Perpetual licenses are unlimited in time. Subscription licenses are valid for 1, 2, or 3 years. After a subscription expires, all product functionality except recovery will be blocked until further subscription renewal. Backed up data is still accessible for recovery.

Both types of licenses can be used in one environment.

Additionally, space in Acronis Cloud Storage can be purchased. Cloud storage licenses are volume subscriptions valid for 1 year. Cloud storage is licensed by the amount of storage allocated in Acronis cloud regardless of the number of machines.

Operations, not installations, are licensed in Acronis Cyber Backup. Management components (Acronis Management Server, Acronis Storage Node and Acronis Backup Appliance) do not require additional licenses, you only need licenses for machines\hosts you want to perform operations with.
