Acronis Backup Advanced: License Server Unavailable or Scheduled Licence Check Failed

$

This article applies to:

  • Acronis Backup Advanced (Acronis Backup & Recovery Advanced)

Symptoms

You run the backup (or it is being started automatically), the backup fails with error similar to: “Failed to check license – License server unavailable). Or you try to manage license from Acronis Management server – the error similar to “Failed to establish connection – License server unavailable” appears.

Cause

  1. Software malfunctioning
  2. Connection error

Solution

Please connect directly to the machine where Acronis License server is installed. In most cases it will be installed along with Acronis Management server.

Make sure the License Server is accessible locally: if the Management Server and Management Console are installed on the same system as the License server, start the Console and connect to the Management Server on the local machine. Try go to “Tools”, then “Manage licenses” and select “localhost” as the machine.

If the Console or Management Server is not installed on the machine, go to “C:\Program Files\Acronis\LicenseServer” folder and start License Server console. Once started, try to connect to the server located on “localhost”.

If the License Server is not accessible locally, please go to “Software malfunctioning” section.

If the License server is available and can be managed locally proceed to the "Connection error" section.

 

1. Software malfunctioning.

Please go to Windows Control panel and start “Program and Features”. Check if “Acronis License Server” is listed under installed software.

Start Acronis Backup installation file and choose “Install Acronis Backup” option.

If the Acronis License Server is NOT listed in “Program and Features”: choose “Modify” and make sure that the License Server is marked for installation in the next Window. Proceed with installation and reboot the machine at the end.

If the Acronis License Server IS listed in “Program and Features”: choose “Repair”. Proceed with repair and reboot the machine at the end. Please note that if you run installation of the new version (for example, if you have downloaded a newer version from the Acronis web site) “Repair” option is not available. You may run “Update” instead, but be advised, that it is recommended to update all components of the centralized management.

If installation or repair does not help to resolve the issue, please collect Acronis system report and contact Acronis Customer Central.

 

2. Connection error.

If you made sure that local connection to the License server is successful, the issue should be in the connection.

First of all make sure there is a secure connection between Agent and License server. On the Agent machine open the Management console (if installed) and connect to the License server (Tools -> Manage licenses) or test telnet connection on port 9876 to the License server machine using telnet. On the License server machine open the Management console (if installed) and connect to the Agent machine (Connect -> Connect to a remote machine) or test telnet connection on port 9876 to the Agent machine.

If connection could be established, please start Registry editor (Start -> Run -> regedit.exe) and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Acronis\MMS\Configuration\License

Check if LicenseServerAddress is the one the License Server is actually installed. Try to change it to IP instead of domain name, to see if name resolution is the problem.

Export the key for the further investigation.

If these steps did not help to resolve the issue, please get PCAP (Wireshark) utility, start it on the Agent machine and reproduce the issue.

Collect Acronis system report from Agent machine and from machine where License Server is installed.

With exported registry key, Wireshark log and System report contact Acronis Customer Central.

First you should upgrade the components for centralized management, then Acronis Agents if these are on separate machines

This article applies to:

  • Acronis Backup 11.5 (Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5)
  • Acronis Backup Advanced 11.5 (Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Advanced)

Introduction

Components of Acronis Backup 11.5 can only be installed over components of Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 or Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Build 11639 (U2) or higher.

If you have all Acronis Backup & Recovery components on one machine, you can upgrade them all in one go - see:

If you have Acronis Backup & Recovery components installed on separate machines, it is recommended to first upgrade the components for centralized management and only then Acronis Agents.

There may be a transition period where in the infrastructure you will have both Acronis Backup Advanced 11.5 (Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Advanced) and components from previous versions, which is normal: Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Agents and Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 (build 11639 or later) Agents are compatible with components for centralized management of the version 11.5.

Solution

If you have each of the components installed on a separate machine, the recommended Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 upgrade sequence is:

  1. Upgrade Acronis Backup & Recovery Management Console.
  2. Upgrade Acronis Backup & Recovery License Server.
  3. Upgrade Acronis Backup & Recovery Management Server and Acronis Backup & Recovery Storage Node.
    All these components can be upgraded as described in Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5: Upgrading from Previous Editions.
  4. Upgrade Acronis Backup & Recovery Agents - both local and remote upgrade installation is supported:

This article describes how to troubleshoot performance issues with Acronis Backup Command line tool.

This article applies to:

  • Acronis Backup (Acronis Backup & Recovery) 11.5

If you experience issues with performance of other Acronis product, please refer to article Troubleshooting Performance issues in Acronis Software.

Introduction

It is important to understand that unlike the trueimagecmd utility used in the older Acronis products, acrocmd does not contain any tools that physically execute the commands. It merely provides the command-line interface to Acronis Backup components—agents, storage nodes and the management server. The main article for troubleshooting performance issues is Acronis Backup: Troubleshooting Performance Issues.

Before starting investigation in accord with this article, make sure, the process (backup for example), is not hanged. If this is the case, please follow Troubleshooting Application Lockups.

Performance depends on many factors, but the two are mainly important: hardware limitations and product underperforming. While hardware limitations cannot be overcome without changing the hardware, underperforming has to be fixed by Acronis development. So it is important to make sure the performance bottleneck is identified correctly. This article aims to help you with it. 

Solution

In general, perfomance improvements are constantly being worked on and released, so updating to the latest build is always recommened for the best perfomance of backup and other opertaions. 

Please make sure the system meets system requirements listed in: Web-help: System requirements.

In Windows

1. If the backup is being created to the personal vault (local drive), the root of the issue may be caused by the Agent performance. Please collect Acronis system report and ProcMon report in this case (see below).

2. If the backup is being created to the centralized unmanaged vault, the issue may be caused by the Agent performance or network. Please collect Acronis system report, ProcMon report and PCAP report (see below).

3. If the backup is being created to the centralized managed vault, the issue may be caused by the Agent performance Acronis Storage Node performance or network. Please collect Acronis system report from machines where Agent and Acronis Storage Node are installed, ProcMon report from both machines and PCAP report (see below).

In Linux

1. If the backup is being created to the personal vault (local drive), the root of the issue may be caused by the Agent performance. Please collect Strace report during process running and Acronis system report after it finishes in this case (see below).

2. If the backup is being created to the centralized unmanaged vault, the issue may be caused by the Agent performance or network. Please collect Strace and PCAP report during process running and Acronis system report after it finishes in this case (see below).

3. If the backup is being created to the centralized managed vault, the issue may be caused by the Agent performance Acronis Storage Node performance or network. Please collect Strace from machines where Agent and Acronis Storage Node are installed and PCAP report during process running and Acronis system report from both machines after it finishes in this case (see below).

Collecting information

1. Collecting Acronis system report.

2. Collecting Process Monitor (ProcMon) log.

3. Collecting Strace log.

4. Collecting PCAP (Wireshark) log (see Linux part if collected on Linux machine).

In addition always save Acronis Backup log of the faulty operation (Right-click on the backup plan -> Logs -> Save to file) and System Report form the machine in question. See instruction for Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Generating System Report, if this fails for any reason, you can use this AcronisInfo Utility. With information collected please contact Acronis Customer Central.
