Installation Instructions

Parameters that apply only to a component that requires a license

The following parameters apply only to the installation packages AcronisAgentWindows.msi,

AcronisAgentESX.msi, and AcronisAgentHyperV.msi.

/serial <License key>

Specifies the license key to use when installing the component. A license key is a sequence of

letters and numerals separated by dashes. Enter the license key exactly, including the dashes.

/old_serial <old license key>

When upgrading from Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 or 11, this parameter specifies the

license key for that product. Use this parameter with the /serial parameter.

If the license keys are stored on a license server, use the /license_server parameter instead.

/license_server <License server>

Specifies the name or IP address of the machine where the license server is installed.

When using this parameter, also specify the /product parameter.

/product <Product code>

Specifies the code of your product.

The codes are the following:

Acronis Backup Advanced for Windows Server: ABR11.5_ASW

Acronis Backup for Windows Server Essentials: ABR11.5_SBS

Acronis Backup Advanced for PC: ABR11.5_AW

Acronis Backup Advanced Universal License: ABR11.5_VE

Acronis Backup Advanced for Hyper-V: ABR11.5_VEHV

Acronis Backup Advanced for VMware: ABR11.5_VEESX

Acronis Backup Advanced for RHEV: ABR11.5_VERHEV

Acronis Backup Advanced for SharePoint: ABR11.5_SP

Acronis Backup Advanced for Active Directory: ABR11.5_AD.

Note If neither the /serial parameter nor the /license_server parameter is specified, the component will

be installed for cloud backup only.

Parameter that applies only to the Management Console component

The following parameter applies only to the installation package AcronisManagementConsole.msi.

/current_user

Specifies that the component will be installed for the current user only and not for all users on a

machine.

Avoid using this parameter when installing the component through Group Policy, because the

“current user” in such installation is typically a system account.

2.1.5 Installation from the management server Web page

Acronis Backup Management Server comes with its own Web server and Web page. You or users in

your organization can go to that Web page from any machine with a supported Web browser (p. 35),
