We're testing Symantec System Recovery 2011 to see if it is something we wish to work with. The specific test we have is a restore to dissimilar hardware that Backup Exec IDR can't handle. We installed the backup software on the server as an evaluation installation with no issues, and were able to make the first backup.
We then booted another server from the Recovery Disk, and we are asked for a license code. What code? There doesn't appear to be any 'I'm evaluating' option. The download link states that the software is 'fully functional', and that we should 'simply' burn the .iso file to a CD, which we did. Did we miss something?
If there is no way to do a test restore, then there is really no way for us to evaluate the product and to see if it can handle situations where the BE IDR option won't work. If that is the case, it would be nice if the download link explicitly stated such. If that is not the case, some help with how to get past the license code request on the boot disk during an evaluation period would certainly be helpful.
