The release build is 1134 and the product is available in English US, FR, DE, RU.

Please note the following changes in licensing policy:

- 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
- Acronis Snap Deploy 4 Deployment licenses are accepted by Acronis Snap Deploy 5 license server. Note that they are not upgraded to Acronis Snap Deploy 5. You should install Acronis Snap Deploy 5 to be able to use unused Deployment licenses in the new version.
