Hi,
Just wanted to verify before going ahead with this.
Successfully installed BE 12.5 using the eval copy and now we have a license key. To install the valid license key, I go to the place where you enter the key, but when I hit next I'm presented with what looks like an installation procedure....
Is this correct? Id like to not have to recreate my jobs, etc or even reboot the server. Will entering the valid key actually take me through a full reinstall??? Seems I should be able to just input a key without that hassle. Maybe there is no hassle?
First time doing this, so I just wanted to check with the pros! Thanks!

Only thing you need to consider is when running license add wizard, because the wizard restarts BE's services on media server. So dont add licenses or options when running backup jobs or BE maintenance task.
Edit: So when adding options or license keys, you dont loose any settings.
