Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 is stopped. For the past X days, the agent was unable to check whether its license is available on Acronis License Server.
This is probably due to the license server being unavailable. You may also want to ensure that the licenses are present on the license server, or that the license key data was not corrupted.
After a successful license check the agent will start working.
