We have one Backup Exec 2012 Server in our infrastructure with 9 Agents for Windows installed. This is an environment that I have taken over and there is little documentation at this point as far as the licensing is concerned. After inventorying our servers it turns out that we have 14 servers running the BE Windows agent but I am not seeing any errors being generated on the BE server that we are overdeployed on agents. How does the BE server handle and police the Windows agent licensing? Is there a way to determine which of our servers are using the 9 installed licenses we have and which ones are not? Even though we have 9 licenses, only two of our 14 servers are actually being backed up by BE right now. If we have the agent installed on 14 servers, then I would imagine that we are over-deployed by 5, but the BE server doesn't appear to be picking up on this. My goal is to be compliant and either buy more licenses or uninstall the agent from the 5 servers that really aren't reporting into the BE server. I just can't determine at this point which ones those are. Would greatly appreciate anyone's assistance on this.
Thanks!
