Do I need to re-activate?

Hi I have a total newbie question. We just renewed our licenses and I got an email with keys and instructions on how to activate Backup Exec. However the instructions seem to be for a fresh install, so I am confused. If my Backup Exec server is already set up and running, do I need to re-activate it? I just wanted to check so it doesn't decide to expire or go kaput on me in the middle of the night.

The instructions are here:

Hi,

You can just simply re add the licenses by going to 'Installation and Licensing' and them 'Install options and licenses'

You do not need to re-enter your licence or re-activate your BE licences.  BE licences are perpetual.  If you have a maintenance licence, you would have to enter this as the old maintenance licence would have either expired or going to.
