Licensing for dual processor servers

Thread needs solution

I am looking to buy 2x dual processor servers. Do I need to buy 2 or 4 vmProtect licenses? Do I need 2 or 4 Online Backup licenses?

I can't see why each server would need 2 licenses, seeing as how CPU count has nothing to do with backup capabilites.

Hello Andrew Almond,

Thank you for using Acronis software.

The license model for Acronis vmProtect 8 is one license per CPU. See also the product homepage. Find additional information in our licensing overview. How many CPU's are used, you can see in the vSphere client at the summary of your host.

When purchasing Acronis Online Backup subscription you are getting storage on the cloud, which is licensed, per actual storage space occupied. This means that you can back up to Acronis Online Backup an unlimited number of VMs as long as you do not exceed the storage quota.

If there is anything else, we can do for you, please let me know.

Thank you.

Hi Andrew, looks like you only need to buy 2 licenses here. Were you able to set this up already?
