I received the licenses I recently ordered. For clarity I chose first to merge my existing license files with te new one. The name that came out for the new licensefile was 'veeam_backup_full_downgrade_xxx' (xxx=my # of licenses).
XXX = ok, it reflects the correct number. What is worrying me is the 'downgrade'.
What happens here, is it a flaw in the name creation or do I really downgrade my license when I apply the licensefile? Obvious, I am reluctant in applying the license right now..
thanks for any advice,
