Remotix has been rebranded to Acronis Cyber Protect Connect.
The old Remotix licensing has been completely reworked for Acronis Cyber Protect Connect.
The new subscription license activates the app regardless of OS. It is finally possible now to use one Professional license to work on macOS, Linux, and Windows instead of buying a bundle of keys. Also, now the license is directly connected to the Remotix / Acronis Cyber Protect Connect account.
When moving OS Deploy Server to a new machine, you may need to preserve the licensing information from the existing installation (available licenses, used licenses, etc). This can be done by copying the contents of LicenseServer folder to the new machine.
