I've got support through SUN for NetBackup and have yet to find anyone
or anything which shows a correlation between VERITAS and SUN patch
levels; that's why we opted to use Veritas packages and patches.
Thankfully with 3.4 SUN is abandoning this duplicity and using VERITAS
packages/patches.

Anyway, have you or anyone else who has NetBackup support through SUN
gotten 3.4 license keys yet? I got the NBU 3.4 media kit (which
interestingly included NBU 3.4 *DataCenter* for NT/2K; not just the
client) from SUN, and a glib note inferring I would get license keys,
though opening up 2 separate tickets on the issue and pinging our SUN SE
I've yet to receive a notice when I'd get these keys.
