1.8 About using the product in the trial mode
Before buying an Acronis Backup license, you may want to try the software. This can be done without
a license key.
To install the product in the trial mode, run the setup program locally or use the remote installation
functionality. Unattended installation and other ways of installation are not supported.
Limitations of the trial mode
When working under bootable media:

The disk management functionality is not available. You can try the user interface, but there is no
option to commit the changes.

The recovery functionality is available, but the backup functionality is not. To try the backup
functionality, install the software in the operating system.
Upgrading to the full mode
After the trial period expires, the product GUI displays a notification requesting you to specify or
obtain a license key.
To specify a license key, click Help > Change License (p. 230). Specifying the key by running the setup
program is not possible.
If you have activated a trial or purchased a subscription for the cloud backup service (p. 237), cloud
backup will be available until the subscription period expires, regardless of whether you specify a
license key.
