Software Activation for Symantec Backup Exec 12.0

We are looking to get license keys for our software.  We have the Software activation instructions but the resources are no longer available.  Is there a way to retrieve the license keys?  We have the reference code and activation code.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

 

  • No.  There is no way to generate the licence keys for BE 12 which has EOL a long time ago.

  • I doubt this will work, but if you have active support try reaching out to Veritas and ask them to assist you.

    I suspect you'll be told this isn't possible and you need to upgrade to the latest version.

    Now, depending on WHY you need to still run BE 12, and if it relates to some legacy app/OS you need to run, you would need to see if they can activate a newer version that at least supports what you have if the latest version doesn't.
