Downgrade from Server to WorkGroup

[phredd]

I've purchased two licenses for my department - one server & one workgroup.

 

I've been using the server license for my current backups, but I've got a new

 

machine that's going to be taking up that license and I want to implement the

 

workgroup license on my current backup server which is going to be handling

 

far fewer clients.

 

 

 

However, I want to keep the clients and scripts currently in play on this machine.

 

 

 

I've attempted to downgrade from server to workgroup, but the license manager

 

will not allow this. It will also not allow me to remove the server license.

 

 

 

I've also run the uninstaller, but the option to remove the license will also remove

 

my current clients and scripts.

 

 

 

Is there some way I can accomplish this without having to re-connect all my

 

clients and remake all of my scripts?

 

 

 

Currently running on OS X 10.2.2 w/Retrospect 5 - Had been up to 5.0.238, but I

 

haven't upgraded back since I ran the uninstall so I'm back down to 5.0.205.

 

 

 

Thanks!

It's not possible to downgrade the application. Unfortunately, you'll need to clean install Workgroup Edition.

No, the application's license code is stored in the preference file, along with all the scripts and client settings.

That's what I feared. Ah well.
