Applies to Server Edition Technician's License only.

Note: Technician's Portable Application USB sticks expire when your license for Technician's expires. You need to recreate your USB stick after this time.

The Macrium Reflect Technician's License allows a single user to image multiple PCs (as specified in the license). Macrium Reflect runs as a portable application from USB Rescue Media. The USB stick also acts as a bootable rescue environment, which you can use to back up and restore licensed PCs. Portable Mode Reflect is very similar to the Macrium Reflect environment you are familiar with.
