3.5.3 Adding licenses in command line mode
If you have installed Acronis License Server Management Tool, you can add licenses to the Acronis
License Server in the command line mode.
1. Run cmd.exe (Windows Command Prompt)
2. Go to the folder where Acronis License Server is installed. By default, it is
\Program Files\Acronis\LicenseServer
3. Enter the following command:
LicenseServerCmdLine --import-file [servername] [filename]
where:
servername – name of the computer where Acronis License Server is installed
filename – name of the file (*.txt or *.eml) with the serial numbers
Example:
This will add the serial numbers from C:\AcronisEnglish.txt to the license server Ltest-2.
3.6 Installation of Acronis OS Deploy Server
Acronis OS Deploy Server is a component that performs centralized deployment through the
network with the help of Acronis Snap Deploy Agents.
Before installing Acronis OS Deploy Server, you need to install the Acronis License Server and import
license numbers to it (for more information see the previous section).
To install Acronis OS Deploy Server:
1. Run the Acronis Snap Deploy setup program
2. Click Install Acronis OS Deploy Server
3. Follow the Install Wizard instructions on the screen.
4. Reboot on prompt.
The wizard will ask you for Acronis License Server. Browse to the server, or enter its name or IP
address, or let the server be found automatically on the network. This will not decrease the number of
deployment licenses. The program just checks the availability of the licenses and stores the specified
Acronis License Server parameters to be able to access the Acronis License Server later, when the
deployment is launched.
If during Acronis OS Deploy Server installation the License Server was specified by its IP
address, the Acronis OS Deploy Server will not be able to find it in future in case the
specified IP address changes.
