enterprice server 1
linux agents 10

EDIT:
no sales person reading this posts? or some one from the support maybe can help?
thanks

 

hello? some one?

i think its not a very complicated question...

 

Hi,

as far as I understood the licensing system you need 19 (for 18 agents and your machine) licenses...

I think the workstation version would be your choise. It is much cheaper than the server version and has the same "remote features".

thanks

but i understand it so that the workstation version dont have linux agents?

 

Hi,

sorry...you are right, the agent is only for the Enterprise Server, but you can boot up the system with the agent disc and remotely backup the linux machine then. TI Workstation supports the following file systems: FAT16/32, NTFS, Linux Ext2, Ext3, ReiserFS, and Linux SWAP.

Due to the price-difference...this should be worth thinking about.

after thinking about it (3sec) no its not good.
becouse of automatisation reasons its not good and downtime.

there has to be a solution for licensing linux agents without to pay $900

its too much just for the agent

 

;-)

maybe acronis sales can find you a solution...

Volker

 

Very simple

When you buy the enterprise version 1x
And want to deploy lets say 10 agents (you can do so without any serials)

BUT you do need to have 10x TrueImage Workstation to get the license to deploy the agents!

 

i have talked with the acronis team and i have understand from them that i just need to purchase the true image enterprise and i can deploy as much linux agents as i like. sounds to good to be true...

 

OK linux agents can be a different story. But they told me that for the windows agents I need to buy Coporate workstation for every workstation i deploy an agent to.

Acronis is this true? And if yes is it fair?

 

some knows how to nistall the linux agent on fedora core 5?

 

to jeremy:

Yes it´s true and unfair. Today I realized that for the 1st time, true!

One full license per Windows Agent! To me, this is not in the sense of an Enterprise product!

If I would have known this I would´nt have purchased this product.

It is 999 € per Agent!!!

 

to manu28

i dont think you need for every agent the enterprise version 990 euro.


you buy 1 enterprise license and for every windows agent 1 workstation license.

so it is
990 euro for the windows enterprise version
xx euro for the windows agent
and
linux agent is free. (included in the enterprise version)

can some one from the Acronis team help us if this is correct?

 

yes. You´re right. You have to buy 1 Enterprise License and x Agents. However, 1 Agent is 999 €!

look i.e. at the german online store:

(right pt. of the page, under "Kaufen" you see Preis: 999€)
