To ensure uninterrupted network monitoring, here's the procedure for switching from a larger to a smaller NetCrunch license.
- Request a new limited-time license of the target size for you (in this case, 1000 node pack) from AdRem
- Deactivate (permanent) larger NetCrunch license and apply a smaller (limited-time) license to your NetCrunch Server
- Notify AdRem about the deactivation of the larger license
- AdRem disables your older, larger license.
- AdRem converts your limited-time, smaller license into a permanent license that you can continue using in your smaller environment.
- Refresh your license in NetCrunch so that it is converted into a permanent license in your NetCrunch Server.
Please note that downsizing is available at the renewal anniversary once a year. Adding new nodes, interfaces, or other add-ons is possible at any time during the year.
