Hello,
firstly, how do I find out if my version of BE has license for the windows agent ?
Go to tools-->Install Licenses and you will find all the licenses and keys installed.
does backup exec come with a license for remote windows or do you have to buy them separately
Backup exec comes with the base license only, we need to purchase a remote agent for windows server license if the OS on the NAS box is Windows server OS. If its Windows XP, we can install remote agent, as Windows XP does not require a License.(Windows VISTA requires a remote agent license)
If not, does BE come with a trial license of the windows agent that may have run out on me
The trial period for remote agent is over, thats the reason its throwing the error.
hope this helps...
