NOTE
When you downgrade from SAN + IP to IP only, the IP discovery profile, if scheduled, is disabled
during the 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 license that allows fewer MPLS devices.
Table 10
lists the available downgrade paths.
Before you downgrade, if you are downgrading to the IP-only license, delete all SAN fabrics (both
monitored and unmonitored).
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 configuration
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.
