If your backups are likely to exceed the storage quota for this type of subscription, you may want to
use a subscription with larger storage quota. For example, you can use a server subscription on a
workstation. The inverse usage is not possible. You cannot back up a server using a workstation
subscription.
Trial subscriptions
You can get one free workstation or server subscription per account. The storage quota of the trial
subscription is equal to that of the standard subscription. The subscription period is limited to 2
months.
Obtaining a trial subscription is possible until you buy a paid subscription. You can use a trial
subscription along with paid ones. The same expiration rules apply to trial and paid subscriptions.
To continue using the service after the trial subscription expires, buy the same type subscription and
renew the trial subscription specifying the paid subscription. Your backed up data will be kept online.
Regular backups of your machines will continue uninterrupted. The service will not need to perform a
new full backup.
To get a trial subscription, do either of the following:
 Go to the account management Web page, click Try Now Free for 60 Days, and select the
necessary subscription type.
 Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 on the machine you want to back up, start the product,
click Back up now or Create backup plan, click Location, and click Get trial subscription. Log in to
your account (create one if you are not registered yet). A trial subscription will be automatically
created and assigned to the machine.
12.4 Activating online backup subscriptions
To be able to back up a machine to the online storage, you need to purchase and activate a
