Cause

Application Data folder missing in 'C:\ProgramData\"
But when checking 'C:\ProgramData\' the following path was found  "C:\ProgramData\Symantec\Backup Exec\besurnum.xml"

 

Resolution

1) Stop the Backup Exec Services.
2) Launch 'C:\ProgramData\'
3) Create a folder with the name "Application Data"
4) Copy the entire folder "Veritas\Backup Exec\" in the newly created "Application Data" in 'C:\ProgramData\'
5) Start the backup exec services.
6) Add/remove the license now from Backup Exec Console & it should work properly.
