1.2.6 Management Console
Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Management Console is an administrative tool for remote or local
access to Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 agents and, in the product editions that include the
centralized management capability, to the Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Management Server.
The console has two distributions: for installation on Windows and installation on Linux. While both
distributions enable connection to any Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 agent and Acronis Backup &
Recovery 11 Management Server, we recommend that you use the console for Windows if you have
a choice between the two. The console that installs on Linux has limited functionality:
 Remote installation of Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 components is not available.
 The Active Directory-related features, such as browsing the AD, are not available.
1.2.7 Bootable Media Builder
Acronis Bootable Media Builder is a dedicated tool for creating bootable media. There are two media
builder distributions: for installation in Windows and installation in Linux.
The media builder that installs on Windows can create bootable media based on either Windows
Preinstallation Environment, or Linux kernel. The media builder that installs on Linux creates
bootable media based on Linux kernel.
The Universal Restore (p. 7) add-on enables you to create bootable media with the restore to
dissimilar hardware functionality. Universal Restore handles differences in devices that are critical for
the operating system start-up, such as storage controllers, motherboard or chipset.
The Deduplication (p. 7) add-on enables you to create bootable media with the back up to a
deduplicating vault functionality. This add-on can be installed to either of the media builder
distributions.
1.2.8 Acronis Wake-on-LAN Proxy
Acronis Wake-on-LAN Proxy enables Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Management Server to wake up
for backup machines located in another subnet. Acronis Wake-on-LAN Proxy installs on any server in
the subnet where the machines to be backed up are located.
1.3 Licensing of advanced editions
Acronis License Server
Licenses of advanced editions are managed by Acronis License Server. You can install a license server
as a separate component (p. 38) or use the one integrated into the management server. The
functionality of the license server is similar for both types of installation.
Acronis License Server can import multiple license keys from .txt or .eml files, saving you from the
time-consuming procedure of typing in numbers.
Specifying licenses during installation
During installation of a licensed component (agent), you can either specify the license server or enter
a license key manually. When you register the machine on the management server, the manually
entered key will be imported to the server and will be seen in the list of licenses.
