Default installation settings

The setup program takes installation settings from the configuration file, which is stored on the

To use the license server that comes with the management server. Each agent being installed will
acquire its own license from that license server.

To install the components to the following folder:

In 64-bit versions of Windows: %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Acronis

In Linux: /usr/lib/Acronis (this setting cannot be changed)
