Chapter 5. Managing Licenses
Note:
SPLA license is valid for Cloud Partners. If SPLA is enabled, you can connect Backup Gateway
only to Acronis Backup Cloud and not to Acronis Backup 12.5 or Acronis Backup Advanced 12.5. To
connect ABGW to these products, you will need to use license keys. Furthermore, Acronis Backup
Gateway usage is not counted in SPLA in Acronis Cyber Infrastructure. SPLA only counts universal usage
that is not related to backup. Backup usage is shown in the Acronis Backup Cloud section of Acronis
Cyber Cloud.
You can switch the licensing model at any time:
• Switching from a license key to SPLA terminates the key even if it has not yet expired. Terminated keys
cannot be used anymore.
• Switching from SPLA to a license key changes the licensing model to subscription or perpetual. After
doing so, ask your service provider to terminate your SPLA by either disabling the Storage application
for your account or deleting the account.
Important:
If a license expires, all write operations to the storage cluster stop until a valid license is installed.
5.1 Installing License Keys
To install a license key, do the following:
1. If you are switching from SPLA, ask your service provider to terminate the agreement by either disabling
the Acronis Cyber Infrastructure application for your account or deleting the account.
