5 How many licenses do I need?

To implement any of the above configurations, you need one license for Acronis True Image WD

Edition Advanced Server Virtual Edition. The license is required to run either Agent for ESX/ESXi or

Agent for Hyper-V.

You may want to install agents on some of the virtual machines for specific purposes, such as

file-level backup or executing pre/post backup commands inside the guest system. No additional

licenses are required to install Agent for Windows or Agent for Linux in as many guests as you need,

if Agent for ESX/ESXi or Agent for Hyper-V is running on the host.

With multiple virtualization servers, you need one license per host. The configuration below requires

four Virtual Edition licenses. All licenses are stored on a single license server. The administrator

manages virtual machines and groups of them through a single entry point provided by the

management server. The administrator has the ability to connect the console directly to an agent to

manage each host (or a guest where an agent is installed) individually.

Each host has an agent for the corresponding virtualization product. One guest runs AMS and ALS. The AMS

manages all virtual machines through the agents. AMS can also manage the Hyper-V host and the guests

where agents are installed.

6 Integration with vCenter

If you are using VMware vSphere, it is recommended that you integrate the management server with

your vCenter Server.

This provides the capability to:

 view virtual machines managed by the VMware vCenter in the management server GUI
