    go to support.veritas.com
    Click on Licensing
    Login and then click on downloads and you should find it there.

    when you say Backup Exec 12 , do you mean BE 12.0 or BE 2012
    If BE 12.0 then I would suggest better to Install 20.1 fresh and setup. Depending on the feasibility of recovering from old backup sets

    If BE 2012, then upgrade to BE 16 and then upgrade to BE 20.1. Refer HCL and SCL of this version to make sure all is supported in this version prior to upgrade.

      I have one more query. If I have backup exec 15 installaed on my system, and if I have to upgrade it to backup exec 20.

      Then do I need to purchase the backup exec 20 license or same license [Backup exec 15] will work in backup exec 20.

        You will need new BE 20 licenses.

        To access a new version, log into the Veritasâ„¢ Entitlement Management System by going to support.veritas.com, click ˜Licensing™ and enter your Veritas Account credentials.

         

        Click on Entitlements™ (within Veritas Entitlement Management System main menu), expand filters by clicking More Optionsâ™, set the Product Line™ filter to your corresponding product and click Apply Filters™.  Look for entitlements referencing the version matching the above release details.  To access your new software and license key(s) utilize the Download Software™ and Generate License™ buttons located in the Actions column.
