This license arrangement is ideal for IT technicians or service companies who might maintain a large number of PCs and may wish to back them up prior to carrying out work. If they did not have the Technician's License, then every time they backed up a different PC a new copy of Macrium would need to be purchased, because the usual licensing arrangement is machine specific. Using a Technician's license allows the technician to backup or image each PC using a single Macrium Reflect license.

Typically, a technician would use the Portable Application or its accompanying PE environment to image their target workstations. This means Reflect needs only to be installed on a single PC and the Portable Application Media created.

Portable application support ships exclusively with Macrium Reflect Technician's Licenses. In addition to allowing you to create a bootable USB stick from which you can rescue your systems, you can also optionally add Portable Application support to your media. This will allow you to run Macrium Reflect on your licensed PCs directly from the USB stick, without needing to install Reflect on the workstation or server first. The base install of Macrium Reflect may only be installed on a single PC at a time. If you wish to move this install, you will have to uninstall and reinstall the software.
