0xe000fe3c - Before you can back up this resource, you must purchase and install a license key for the appropriate Backup Exec agent.

UMI code: V-79-57344-65084

Cause

The above error can be caused due to any of the following reasons :
  1. The resource being backed up is not licensed (issue may occur 60 days after use as evaluation mode has expired).
  2. The resource is no longer part of the environment.
  3. The server is being backed up by a different name (server shows in the selection list as the Net Bios name and the job log shows the fully qualified domain name.
  4. Backup Exec has been updated from a previous version.

Resolution

Solution 3 :
Edit the selection list in "Details View" and delete the entry for the server name which no longer exists.

Solution 5 :
Recreate a new selection list and associate the job with it.
 
Solution 6 :
If the Backup Exec installation is within 60 day evaluation period,  uninstall all license keys from the server.

    - Remove and reinstall all license keys.
    - Restart the Backup Exec Services after installing the licenses.
