Upgrade and downgrade of licenses
Users can upgrade or downgrade a license bundle in the License Management menu.
•The change is effective immediately. The new license will be billed by the date of change, including that day.
•Users can change the seat quantity. The new quantity must be the same or higher than the current number of activated seats.
•If a product is not included in the new license bundle, it gets deactivated.
•Trial licenses are not eligible for upgrade or downgrade.
•Upgrade and downgrade options are available only for companies where the logged-in user has the Write permission.

Warning! •Downgrading or upgrading in EMA 2 changes only the license. The product is not automatically changed. •By downgrading a license, some of the product's features and solutions will stop working. Make sure to safely uninstall or deactivate the products when downgrading the license. |
Dashboard tile
If there is an upgrade available for one of the licenses, the Dashboard displays a License upgrade available tile to inform the user.
