- Universal Deploy is now included in Machine licenses as well as in Deployment licenses. This means that Universal Deploy does not require a separate key. Also, Acronis Snap Deploy 4 Universal Deploy and earlier versions of Universal Deploy cannot be upgraded to Acronis Snap Deploy 5, as Universal Deploy licenses do not exist in version 5
