Dear Amol

  If i am using this option , existing license removed and it didn't show the agents list. any other way.. i am using symantec backup exec 2010

...if the trial expired, and you removed the SQL DB from the backup, leave it as is...there is no harm in this. You're going to be spending time trying to remove an entry from a location within BE that hardly anybody looks in.

On the above screen click on next and then uncheck "Agent for SQL" option.

Other option is to exclude all SQL instances from backups.

Did you follow the instructions from my previous post?

You will not get the above alerts once the trail period expires.

Dear Amol,

   As per your instruction i was click next , not able to unselect the sql agent option (Hide), refer the attachment. any other way to removal options.

[AmolB]

There is no other way to uncheck  "Agent for SQL" option.

I would suggest to ignore the alerts for time being, once trial period is over you will not 

get alerts for SQL agent(make sure you don't select any SQL DB's in the backup selection)

Dear Amol,

 Thanks for your support. after ending trial license period automatically removed SQL agent in symantec backup exec, and also not show alert. problem solved.
