Hi,
Can somebody help me with Licensing question? We have product with /still-active/ 1y maintenance:
- SYMC BACKUP EXEC 2014 SERVER WIN PER SERVER BNDL COMP UG LIC EXPRESS BAND S BASIC 12 MONTHS
We are going to virtualize this server so we need to buy remote agents or upgrade to V-Ray edition. We decided for an upgrade.. I asked 4 Symantec partners and got different answers so would like to make it clear for us - what we really need..
Can we buy this product and do the upgrade?
SYMC BACKUP EXEC 15 V-RAY EDITION WIN 2 TO 6 CORES PER CPU BNDL COMP UG LIC EXPRESS BAND S BASIC 12 MONTHS
We have server with 4 cores and will insall Hyper-V host with 2 VMs
Many thanks for help !

Yes.

The Backup Exec V-Ray edition includes, at no additional charge, the following agents and options:
And just to confirm would the BE media server and the Hyper-V host be the same or would BE be installed onto a VM ?

Just to add to the above comment -
Licensing edition will not prevent the upgrade from BE 2014 to BE 15. You can opt for various editions as long as the core Backup Exec server license is included. The ala carte model, V-Ray Edition, Capacity Editions are few of the licensing options available based upon the cost, environment and scalability.
