Managing Licenses
=================

The |product_name| appliance is licensed for two types of deployments:

- Hybrid cloud. Comes with a 3-year hardware warranty and requires a subscription for Acronis Backup Cloud. After 3 years, the hardware warranty needs to be renewed for another 1 or 3 years.

  For this deployment type, you will need to install a SPLA license as described in :ref:`Installing SPLA Licenses`.

- Private cloud. Comes with a 3-year license for |product_name| and hardware warranty. After 3 years, both the license and warranty need to be renewed for another 1 or 3 years.

  For this deployment type, you will need to install a license key as described in :ref:`Installing License Keys`.

For more details on licensing options, see the `Knowledge Base article #62324 <https://kb.acronis.com/content/62324>`__.
