Acronis Snap Deploy 4 enables imaging and deployment of any PC-based operating system. However,

for certain operating systems, some operations or options will not be available. For example,

Windows 98/NT/ME, NT/4.0 Server, Windows 2000, and Linux (kernel: 2.4.9 and later) can be

deployed only as is; on-the-fly settings adjustment is not performed.

Deploying an unrecognized operating system or a disk without an operating system requires a

workstation license.

The Acronis Universal Deploy option is not applicable to the Windows 2000, Windows 98/NT/ME,

and Windows NT/4.0 Server operating systems.

1.5 Licensing policy

Acronis Snap Deploy 4 licensing is based on the number of machines (servers or workstations) that

you deploy. For example, to deploy a system on 100 machines, you need 100 licenses.

1.5.1 Machine licenses and deployment licenses

In terms of the number of allowed deployments, a license can be one of two types:

 A machine license enables an unlimited number of deployments to a particular machine. You

may want to use this type of license if you perform deployment to the same machine on a

regular basis.

 A deployment license enables a single successful deployment to a machine. You may want to

use this type of license if you perform deployment to the same machine once or infrequently. If

deployment under a deployment license fails, you can perform another deployment under the

same license.
