Registering BackupAssist 365

A BackupAssist 365 installation is licensed once it has been registered with the Managed Backup Console (MBC) service. When you register an installation, it is added to MBC and can be administered for free until the end of the following month. The subscription for the installation's license will then be added to the monthly MBC billing cycle and charged to your account.
