questions that might arise before the product installation. 1.1 About using the product in the trial mode Before buying an Acronis Backup license, you may want to try the software. This can be done without a license key. To install the product in the trial mode, run the setup program locally or use the remote installation (p. 45) functionality. Unattended installation and other ways of installation (p. 18) are not supported. Limitations of the trial mode When installed in the trial mode, Acronis Backup has the following limitation: . The Universal Restore functionality is disabled. Additional limitations for bootable media: . The disk management functionality is not available. You can try the user interface, but there is no option to commit the changes. The recovery functionality is available, but the backup functionality is not. To try the backup functionality, install the software in the operating system. Upgrading to the full mode After the trial period expires, the product GUI displays a notification requesting you to specify or obtain a license key. To specify a license key, click Help > Change License. Specifying the key by running the setup program is not possible. If you have activated a trial or purchased a subscription for the cloud backup service, cloud backup will be available until the subscription period expires, regardless of whether you specify a license key. 1.2 Licenses for Acronis Backup and Acronis Backup Advanced Licensing of the Acronis
