backup exec licenses... -- IMPORTANT

[nnikou]

hello.. i have a problem..... we have purchased 1 backup exec manager licese and 20 backup exec clients licenses (agent)
the version of the backup exec is 8.5......

i have done the following procedure...
1. i install in all servers (4) the manager without to enter the license....
2. then i realize that i have only one license for manager and i choose one server that will be the manager for backup exec
3. for the rest three servers i uninstall the manager
4. using the manager server start to deploy the clients

in all clients the procedure of deploying the agent and the process of entering the serial works fine except the servers that i had previously install - uninstall the manager
the three servers cannot accept the clients serial.....

why????  is it possible to tell me where the licenses keys stored.... i dont know what to do....

pls help..........
thanks in advance

You need to install the Backup exec licese just on the server which is manger
On the other server you just need the remote agent installed and you dont have to install the serial key on them

i think that you misunderstood something....
after the agent deployment on client's machine request a serial for activating the client.....

without activations the clients deployment is valid for 60 days...

thanks for your response

Oops !! Was not sure about the 8.5 version
you can use bepush.log" and is located in the \Winnt\System32 folder on the remote computer for troubleshooting further.
Make sure you install the media server license 1st

You need to install a RAWS (Remote Agent for Windows Systems) serial on the media server for each remote machine you want to  backup
