Geo,

I'm using the True Image version, not the server version. Indeed the site
is not very clear whether you can backup as many remote servers (or
workstations) as you want on a single server-license. Initially I would get
the impression that the product is mainly meant to create an image in real
time from a server. But further on in the text it makes clear that you can
also use it to:

" The Acronis Management Console included into Acronis True Image ES
offers far greater flexibility for corporate IT departments. From this
console administrators can deploy backup agents on remote servers and
create server backup images over the network, increasing the IT
department's productivity and reducing costs."

So I would be inclined to say yes, you can (but then, that's my usual
position and leave it to the suppliers to deny it )
