Backup Exec 12.5 licence/serial location
- 11 years ago
All licenses for Backup Exec are installed /present on the media server. No licenses are installed on remote servers upon remote agent installs and hence there would be no prompt.
Backup Exec licensing is enforced from a legal perspective rather than a software one i.e., you can install the agents on unlimited number of remote servers (exceeding your license count) and the software would not prevent you from installing it nor running backups (though the backups itself might fail with a licensing error), however this would be breaching the license agreement.
You can consider running a tool to check how many licenses are installed vs how many resources are to be protected - http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH136728
Would also recommend you to contact the licensing team to confirm how many servers are protected with the 2 serials which you have. It could be possible that one serial number is valid for one server or maybe for multiple servers as well. This info can be obtained only from the licensing team and not from the software itself.
