Option1:
 
Backup Exec keeps a record of the Backup Exec license keys currently installed in a file 
 
named BESERNUM.XML. This file is located under Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
 
Data\Symantec\Backup Exec
 
 
Option2:
 
If you haven't uninstalled BE yet then open BE console, click on Tools->Install options and license
 
key-> Make note of all the license keys.
 
 
Option3:
 
 Get in touch with Symantec Licensing team.

Option 4:

If you have a backup of C: drive on tape from previous installation then Install Backup Exec in evaluation and then inventory & catalog the tape containing C: drive backup and then restore the BESERNUM.XML
