Purchased BE 10d SBS 2003 by accident can i still install it?

Hi

I recently purchased backup exec 10d. I had the evaluation copy running on my server which has run out. I tried to install my purchased version today but it said I had in invalid key. Thats when I realized it was the small business version. Im running windows 2003 server. The SBS version of 10d passed all the environment checks so I was hoping I could just install it anyway.

Is there anyway I can install the SBS version(all I really want to do is give my eval version an activation key and retain all my backup jobs). Am I out of luck?

Thanks

Why not return SBS version and get the correct product?
In Aust. we have 21 days from date of invoice to return.

BackupExec SBS MUST be installed on SBS server

You might/should be able to return the SBS version for a restocking fee and when you install the standard serial number, it should pickup all the setting from your trial install

Hello,


Backup Exec for SBS can only be installed on a SBS machine. Please refer to the following document:
