Starting with ACC V2.1 the existing licensing mechanism for ACC Software and Vmware Appliances has changed.

The previously existing mass-use license has been replaced with personalized licenses.

Your benefits:
---------------
* Licenses for ACC Software/Vmware Appliances will continue to be free!
* You are allowed to use ACC in any environment: private/home-use, business and non-profit.
* The free license is valid for 3 years from the date of creation.
* The new ACC license will be integrated into your MyAstaro account.

The following page details the upgrade process and how-to retrieve your free personal license:

We would also like to encourage you to update to the latest available version of Astaro Command Center.
There are always many new exciting features to make your administrator's life easier.

Please note:
-------------
* The licensing scheme for ACC Hardware Appliances such as the ACC 1000/2000/3000/4000 remains unaffected. 
* The free ACC Software/Vmware Appliance license cannot be used on your ACC Hardware Appliance. 
* Please contact your partner/reseller/distributor for upgrades or extensions on ACC Hardware Appliances.
