product. The following table summarizes the available options.

Switching a license

Why you may need it

Trial > Full

After trying the product, you decided to buy a license.

Full > Full, different product

You want to upgrade from Acronis Backup to Acronis Backup Advanced
in order to use the centralized management capability. For more
information, refer to the "Upgrading from Acronis Backup to Acronis
Backup Advanced" section of the installation documentation.

You used a server license (for example, Acronis Backup Advanced for
Windows Server) for a workstation. Now you want to assign the
workstation a workstation license (Acronis Backup Advanced for PC).
After that, you can revoke the server license and use it for a server.
