Downgrade rights allow the user to downgrade to and use an earlier version.
If you downgrade software using downgrade rights, follow the flow shown below to manage the software license.
The procedure explained below is based on the following example.
Example: Use the downgrade rights provided in the license for software A to downgrade to software B
