Backward compatibility with Agent licenses

How far the Backup exec agent licenses are backward compatible? I know that all Backup Exec 12.5 license keys are supposed to be backward compatible with all Backup Exec 12.0 Options: http://www.syma...

    Hi,

    Apparently you can, and you can always try this.

    However, I'd simply contact the Symantec licensing department and ask for a BE 12.5 license. Since you own the BE 2010 license, they won't have any problems doing this.

     

    Thanks!

Thanks Craig for your reply. I guess then i can't install the license directly on 12.5 but the licensing department has to regenerate a different key! Is that correct?
