[alohaboi]

We are currently running Backup Exec 12 and want to upgrade to 12.5 so we can utilise the VI agent.

since we are already running Backup Exec 12, is the upgrade to 12.5 free???

If you are on a current maintenance contract, you can upgrade for free.  Otherwise, you would have to contact the Licensing department.  Since you are upgrading, you might want to upgrade to the latest BE 2010 R2.
