Acronis True Image 2017 - Laptop Cloning and SID Conflicts

Hello Team,
We would require your support in order to know further on Laptop cloning using Acronis True Image 2017 bootable media.
We would like to get clarity in below points,
1. We would need to clone the entire Hardisk which will be installed with our Company Softwares, Microsoft SQL Server instances -> please let me know if there are any kind of issues ?
2. What are the possible issues that will come across if are using the base laptop and cloned copy of the base laptop on the same network subnet ?
3. Is there were any sort of system SID conflicts and that will eventually start system crashes or BSOD ?
4. May I know is there any sort of license requirement for using laptop cloning using Acronis True Image 2017 Bootable ISO ? if yes, please let me know the details of license cost ?
Thanks and Regards,
Sudheesh Sudhakaran

Sudheesh, you may wish to look at the Acronis Snap Deploy business product for a solution designed for image deployment.

In addition to being able to automate the deployment process, Snap Deploy also has the ability to generalize the SID and hardware drivers during the deployment process. True Image Home cannot generalize the SID and Universal restore is a secondary, manual tool to generalize the hardware drivers when restoring an image to a different computer. Give technical support a direct "chat" and they can walk you through the differences to help you pick the best solution.
True Image Home is good for backing up a computer on a regular basis through Windows and one-off system restores.
Snap Deploy is good for large deployments (lots of them over time), especially when using different hardware, but is not a backup solution for the local machines
Acronis Backup 12 is designed to encompass both capabilites of True Image Home and Snap Deploy (to an extent). I have not used Backup 12 very much though so am not the one to give advice about it.

Hello Stev/Bobbo,
Thanks a lot for suggesting "Snap Deploy" for our infrastructure imaging needs.
As you said, we will so glad that "Snap Deploy" will generalize the SID, then I think it would be more working for our case,
I will further check with your sales/support team for a full length demo and will check how it works for our requirements(with custom SQL Database instances and applications that developed)
Thanks and Regards,
Sudheesh Sudhakaran
