 Dear Symantec Customer,
Due to changing market conditions, Symantec has decided to discontinue the Backup Exec for NetWare Servers (BENW) product line. Backup Exec for NetWare Servers' discontinuation represents part of Symantec's evolving strategic direction, which involves placing even greater focus on Windows and Linux offerings that aid customers with their data protection and information lifecycle management. For more information about these changes, see this document: http://support.veritas.com/docs/312180
For detailed information about the end-of-life support schedule for Backup Exec for NetWare Servers, please go to this URL: http://support.veritas.com/docs/302200
Backup Exec for NetWare Servers does not have a direct upgrade path to any other Symantec product. However, there are upgrade mechanisms that will allow customers to maintain nearly the same level of support for existing NetWare servers, as well as be a better fit for Novell's stated upgrade path from Novell NetWare to Novell SUSE Linux and Open Enterprise Server. All transition mechanisms require at least one Windows Server and Backup Exec for Windows Servers.
For many of the Agents and Options offered as part of the Backup Exec for NetWare Servers software package, there is an analogue in the Backup Exec for Windows Servers product. Customers who have mixed NetWare/SUSE Linux and Windows Server environments will find this transition easiest; these customers will already have the necessary Windows Server hardware on which to run Backup Exec for Windows Servers. Customers who have pure NetWare/SUSE Linux environments will find this transition more challenging, as at least one Backup Exec for Windows Server installation (and the Windows Server operating system and hardware that requires) is necessary for continued data protection.
Replacement Offer
We are pleased to offer Backup Exec for Netware Server customers replacement products from our Backup Exec product line. To learn more about the Backup Exec product line, please visit http://www.backupexec.com.
Because you are a customer with a current maintenance/support agreement on or after November 3, 2008, we are pleased to offer you the replacement product(s) listed below free of charge. Your current maintenance/support agreement will be linked to the replacement product(s).
Please note that Symantec is sending you this software version upgrade notification because our records reflect that you have a current maintenance/support agreement with Symantec. This notification is not linked with a renewal of maintenance/support. In addition, you are only authorized to replace Backup Exec for Netware Servers software copies for which you have a current maintenance/support agreement.

Kind Regards
