To upgrade from Acronis Snap Deploy 3 to Acronis Snap Deploy 4, upgrade both the licenses and the
software components.

To upgrade the licenses of Acronis Snap Deploy 3, obtain the necessary number of upgrade licenses
and import them to the license server.
You should obtain one upgrade license for Acronis Snap Deploy 4 (ASD4) per each license for Acronis
Snap Deploy 3 (ASD3) that you have. After you import the upgrade licenses to the license server, you
