License downgrade

Downgrading the MPLS product count
You can downgrade from a license with MPLS to a license without MPLS. You can also downgrade
from a license that allows more MPLS devices to a licence that allows fewer MPLS devices.
The following table list the available downgrade paths.
NOTE
If you combine more than one downgrade option, you must meet the requirements for all downgrade
options.
To downgrade the MPLS product count, complete the following steps.
1. Select Help > License.
The License dialog box displays.
2. Browse to the license key file (.xml) in the License Key field and click Update.
Depending on your downgrade, one of the following occurs:
• A message displays that MPLS products cannot be managed and all MPLS configurations
will be deleted to proceed. Click Yes to delete the MPLS configurations automatically. Click
No to delete the MPLS configurations yourself. After you manually delete the MPLS
configurations, you must rediscover the IP products.
• A message displays that the maximum number MPLS products that can be managed and
that the last MPLS configurations discovered will be deleted to proceed. Click Yes to delete
the MPLS configurations automatically. Click No to delete the MPLS configurations
yourself. After you manually delete the MPLS configurations, you must rediscover the IP
products.
A message displays that details the support that will no longer be available after the license
update.
3. Click Yes on the message to continue.
The client closes after updating the license successfully. Restart the server through the Server
Management Console for the changes to take effect, then log back into the application.
