Changing a license
In the Licenses window, you can add license keys and select which licenses to use for the selected
machine. Each license enables a certain set of features. If you choose not to use a license, you will be
able to back up the machine to the cloud storage only.
In this window, you can also change a license server used by a machine. This operation is possible
only if the machine is not registered on the management server. For registered machines, the
management server determines which license server they use. See "Changing the license server used
by the management server" (p. 377) for details.
Managing a cloud backup subscription
The Acronis Cloud block of the Licenses window requires that you sign in to your Acronis account.
After that, it shows the cloud backup subscription activated on the machine. If no subscription is
activated, this block allows you to request for a subscription, to enter the registration code that you
received after the subscription purchase, and to activate the subscription.
14.5 Collecting system information
The system information collection tool gathers information about the machine to which the
management console is connected, and saves it to a file. You may want to provide this file when
contacting Acronis technical support.
This option is available under bootable media and for machines where Agent for Windows, Agent for
Linux or Acronis Backup Management Server is installed.
To collect system information
1. In the management console, select from the top menu Help > Collect system information from
'machine name'.
2. Specify where to save the file with system information.
14.6 Adjusting machine options
The machine options define the general behavior of all Acronis Backup agents operating on the
managed machine, and so the options are considered machine-specific.
To access the machine options, connect the console to the managed machine and then select
Options > Machine options from the top menu.
14.6.1 Additional settings
Specify what to do if the machine is about to be shut down while a task is running
This option is effective only for Windows operating systems.
