What is included in Macrium SiteDeploy Core License + 50 Endpoints?

Golden Image Deployment – Push one master image to many Windows endpoints.
Hardware-Agnostic ReDeploy – Boots images on dissimilar makes and models reliably.
Central Deployment Console –Initiate and monitor rollouts from one dashboard.
Built-in PXE – Network boot using integrated or your own server.
Performance Metric – Up to 60 parallel deployments per image store.
Important – It deploys images but does not schedule endpoint backups.

What are the main benefits of Macrium SiteDeploy Core License + 50 Endpoints?

Macrium SiteDeploy is a centrally managed OS imaging tool that replicates one approved golden image across multiple Windows machines from a single console. The Core License with 50 endpoints lets small and mid-sized IT teams rebuild, reset, or roll out up to 50 unique computers without configuring each device by hand.

Faster Rollouts – Image many machines in parallel, not one-by-one.
Consistent Builds – Every machine matches the same approved configuration.
Mixed Hardware – One golden image works across varied device models.
Unlimited Redeploys – Reset the same 50 endpoints as often as needed.
Ransomware-Resistant Images – Macrium Image Guardian protects your stored golden images.
Remote Site Recovery – Rebuild machines at branch locations without travelling.

What does Macrium SiteDeploy do?

Macrium SiteDeploy captures a single reference machine as a golden image and deploys that image to multiple target computers across your network. It uses sector-level imaging, so each deployed machine is a faithful copy of the original build. Deployment is the reverse of backup: golden images are created infrequently and pushed out frequently to many endpoints, which suits rebuilding classroom labs, kiosks, POS terminals, or office fleets. The Core License covers 50 unique endpoints, and each of those machines can be re-imaged an unlimited number of times.

How is SiteDeploy different from backup and restore?

SiteDeploy is a deployment tool, not a scheduled backup solution, so it does not protect the day-to-day data on the machines it images. Backup and restore is built for frequently changing data that you usually recover to the same computer, whereas deployment replicates one master build outward to many machines. If you need ongoing, scheduled protection of those endpoints, that is handled by the separate Backup & Restore feature in Macrium Site Manager or by standalone Macrium Reflect licenses. Knowing this before buying avoids the common assumption that “Macrium” automatically means continuous backup – SiteDeploy specifically covers provisioning and rebuilds.

What does the Core License with 50 endpoints actually allow?

The Core License is an endpoint license, meaning it permits deployments to up to 50 unique computers, each of which can be re-imaged with no per-deployment limit. Once 50 unique endpoints have been deployed to, you cannot add a 51st unique machine without expanding the license, though you can keep redeploying to the existing 50 freely. This model suits small and mid-sized businesses or schools that rebuild a fixed pool of devices repeatedly, rather than resellers imaging new hardware constantly. If you outgrow 50, extra endpoint bundles can be added to scale the same console upward.

Which operating systems can SiteDeploy deploy?

SiteDeploy deploys Windows images only and can create golden images of any Windows operating system from Windows XP SP3 and Windows Server 2003 SP2 onward, covering both workstations and servers. The SiteDeploy software itself installs on 64-bit Windows 7 and later. Automatic driver injection through Macrium ReDeploy is supported on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 and above, which is what lets one image boot on different hardware. There is no macOS or Linux deployment target, so cross-platform shops still need a separate tool for non-Windows machines.

How does SiteDeploy handle different hardware?

SiteDeploy uses driver harvesting plus Macrium ReDeploy to adapt a single golden image to machines with different chipsets, storage controllers, and network cards. ReDeploy injects the critical boot drivers so a captured image starts correctly on hardware that differs from the reference machine, and Windows then handles the remaining non-critical drivers on first boot. It also resizes partitions automatically during deployment, so the same image fits drives of different sizes. This is the practical reason one master build can cover a mixed fleet of laptops, desktops, and servers without maintaining a separate image per model.

Who is Macrium SiteDeploy best suited for?

SiteDeploy fits IT teams that repeatedly rebuild a known set of machines – school computer labs, office workstation pools, kiosks, POS terminals, or branch-office devices – rather than one-off restores. The 50-endpoint Core License targets small and mid-sized organisations, with Macrium positioning the SMB tier for unlimited deployments to between 50 and 200 computers. Because deployments can be initiated centrally and monitored from one console, a single administrator can reset or rebuild machines at remote sites without travelling to each location. It is less suitable for high-volume system builders imaging fresh hardware constantly, who are better served by the per-deployment System Builder licensing.

Frequently asked questions about Macrium SiteDeploy Core License + 50 Endpoints

Does Macrium SiteDeploy require Macrium Site Manager?

SiteDeploy is delivered through the Macrium Site Manager console, where it appears under the Deployment tab. The deployment boot media runs a PE Agent that connects back to the Site Manager server over your network to reach centrally managed golden image stores. Site Manager and SiteDeploy can also be licensed and used independently of each other.

Can SiteDeploy deploy to an offline computer?

Yes. The bootable deployment media includes everything needed to apply a golden image from portable storage, so a target machine does not have to be connected to Site Manager at deployment time. Note that offline deployments still count toward your endpoint usage on the Core License.

Can I still use my golden images outside SiteDeploy?

Yes. Golden images are built with the same imaging technology as Macrium Reflect, so they remain accessible through standard Reflect or a Technicians License. You can still browse or restore those images individually; you simply lose the ability to redeploy them to multiple machines without an active SiteDeploy license.
