Licensing

To protect a workload by using Acronis Cyber Protect, you need a license. A license is not required for installing Acronis Cyber Protect.

License types

Acronis Cyber Protect is available with subscription licenses. Within the validity period, which starts from the date of purchase, unlimited updates and free technical support are available. After the validity period ends, the existing protection plans stop working and new protection plans cannot be created.

Renewals for the legacy perpetual licenses are available. Some features, such as cloud deployment or cloud-to-cloud backups are not available with a perpetual license.

A trial license is also available. It provides you access to all product features for 30 days from the license activation.
