Installation guide

To specify the standard license key for a stand-alone product edition, run the installation package and

follow the wizard's instructions. For editions with centralized management you need to install Acronis

License Server and import the standard license keys.

1.5. Local installation (Windows)

You have a choice between downloading a full installation package and a small executable package

that will download from Acronis Web site, only those components that you select to install.

1.5.1. Preparation

Install Acronis License Server and import the licenses. You can skip this step when using a trial license

key or when installing only components that do not require license keys.

To install the license server, run the installation package, then click Install Acronis Backup &

Recovery 10, then click Install Acronis License Server on this machine, and then follow the on-screen

instructions.

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 uses TCP port 9876 for local installation and for communication

between components. The setup program automatically opens this port through Windows Firewall. If

you use a different firewall, make sure that the port is open for both incoming and outgoing requests

through that firewall.

1.5.2. Installation procedure

Do the following to install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10:

1. Run the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 setup file.

2. Click Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10.

3. Specify the name or IP address of the Acronis License Server, or type your trial license key.

4. Select the components and specify the component features that you want to install.

5. If prompted, specify one or more of the following parameters depending on your component

selection:

o Credentials for the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 component services. By default, the setup

program will create a dedicated user account for each service. See "Specifying credentials for

Acronis services (p. 12)".

o The names of Microsoft SQL servers to be used by Acronis Backup & Recovery 10

Management Server. See "Specifying Microsoft SQL servers (p. 12)".

o Whether to register Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows and/or Acronis Backup

& Recovery 10 Storage Node on the management server. See "Registering components on

the management server (p. 13)".

o The names of users who will be allowed to connect to the machine remotely. See "Specifying

users allowed to connect remotely (p. 13)".

The summary window displays the list of components that will be installed on the machine.
