Installation guide

Licenses required

To install Agent for Windows, use any license that enables installation of this agent.

If Agent for Windows is installed by using the Advanced Server SBS Edition license, you can install

Agent for Active Directory (single-pass) without an additional license. Otherwise, use the following

license: Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Microsoft Active Directory Add-On.

This license enables you to install Agent for Active Directory (single-pass) onto a physical host and

onto four virtual machines running on the same host. Please remember that Agent for Windows

must be installed on each virtual machine along with Agent for Active Directory (single-pass).

To use the product in the trial mode, you do not need licenses.

Installation

Install the agent in the same way as Agent for Windows. For detailed step-by-step instructions, refer

to "Interactive installation in advanced editions" (p. 20).
