Licensing

MSP360 Managed Backup Service license policy is based on the license-per-instance principle. This means you need a number of licenses of the required types to cover all users with the services you provide. Then, you can use the stationary software (Backup Agents) for your users. No activation keys or anything similar are required, you keep track of a sufficient number of licenses of different types. Licenses can be automatically renewed.
