Backup Exec Evaluation

[Chamomile]

Just an urgent question before we start on Wednesday. Planning to run an evaluation for Backup Exec on one of our branch, we already have one on our main, but this time they want first to run eval before purchase. Haven't try this before I always install license key upon installation.  How long can I try this?

Backup Exec 12.5 = 60-day license for any agent.
AOFO is bundled with it now, so no license for this.
It also ships with 1 Tape Library Option = 1 drive in a library is licensed.

Hope this helps?

FYI:

You can evaluate Backup Exec for 60 days. Evaluation starts at first backup.With regards to evaluating agents and options, it has it's own clock, that starts when the feature is first used. The clock is visible on Help>About>License Information.Please be informed that there are options not available for evaluation such as CASO, SSO and DLO.
