Hi guys
I have  the symantec backup exec 10d with remote agents. Recently I have added a win server 2008 32 bit. ( Ms Dynamics , SQL server )  But I am not able to install the agent for server 2008. .Giving me a compatibility error. If i upgrade the remote agents, I will be able to get it work? What  agent version I should use. We have Sql server  2000 remote agent, Do I have to buy    symentec sql remote agent for sql 2008? or Upgrade is available?
thank you guys

Remote Agent on W2K8 requires a media server at a minimum level of v12.0

Remote Agent on W2K8 R2 requires v12.5 plus a Hot Fix

I think i will need to upgrade  the BE. How about this question, I have sql agent that i use for sql server 2000, I would like to use this  sql server agent for sql 2008 on W2K8 ? Can I use it, and if i use this , do i have to buy another license? or i can use existing license key?
Thx

No. You cannot.  The SQL license is the activate the capability of BE to back up SQL. It it not transferable between different versions of BE.

When you upgrade your BE, you would need to get another SQL licence for that version of BE.
