  • Another possible cause is an invalid entry under the following registry key (presence of previous version Backup Exec string value) : HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\UpgradeCodes\3524D972551B58E4F98B4FCC185BFB8B

for details please refer to the solution below

Resolution

Please take a backup of registry before following the instructions.

WarningIncorrect use of the Windows registry editor may prevent the operating system from functioning properly. Great care should be taken when making changes to a Windows registry. Registry modifications should only be carried-out by persons experienced in the use of the registry editor application. It is recommended that a complete backup of the registry and workstation be made prior to making any registry changes.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\UpgradeCodes\3524D972551B58E4F98B4FCC185BFB8B 

In the above Key, there will be more than 1 string value with GUID, which is causing this issue (Previous Backup Exec string value). 
 
Delete the invalid string value with GUID representing old version of Backup Exec to resolve the issue. Only the string value with GUID of currently installed Backup Exec should be present there. 
 
After deleting the value, run the repair or license install wizard to verify it works as expected. 
 
GUID for some of the Backup Exec (BE) versions are given below. 
 
BE 22 - D014a5551336B6A40AC8B835A2F7B002
