    Option1:
     
    Backup Exec keeps a record of the Backup Exec license keys currently installed in a file 
     
    named BESERNUM.XML. This file is located under Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
     
    Data\Symantec\Backup Exec
     
     
    Option2:
     
    If you haven't uninstalled BE yet then open BE console, click on Tools->Install options and license
     
    key-> Make note of all the license keys.
     
     
    Option3:
     
     Get in touch with Symantec Licensing team.

    Option 4:

    If you have a backup of C: drive on tape from previous installation then Install Backup Exec in evaluation and then inventory & catalog the tape containing C: drive backup and then restore the BESERNUM.XML
