Applies to

  • ONTAP 9.10.1 and later
  • NetApp License File (NLF)

Answer

  • Yes, it is possible to revert to legacy licenses after applying NLF licenses
  • It is recommended to convert legacy license keys to the NLF format and install the new NLFs when convenient.
  • Future upgrades may require the NLF format to be in place.
  • There are no known issues reported with the application of NLF licenses.
  • However, if any issues arise, it is possible to revert to the legacy licenses.
  • To revert to legacy licenses, simply delete the NLF licenses, as applying NLF licenses does not automatically remove any existing legacy licenses.
