Thanks for your response.
I have however, had the experience of a license breaking after an
upgrade. When we upgraded the server SW from 7.2.2 to 7.4.2, one of our
3 NMO licenses broke and it took almost 2 days with EMC support's help
to get EMC licensing to fix the license issue.
I don't want a repeat now that we are running the NMS modules unsupported.

I need to upgrade our backup server SW soon and am trying to figure out
when an upgrade will break the license keys or SW for our 2 NMS
installs. I would like to know ahead of time to have some warning before
it happens. It may also allow me to pick the right version to upgrade to
that gives us the longest use of NMS. I'll likely leave the old 7.4.4
client on these 2 boxes as well and only upgrade our backup server and
other clients.
I have never come across a case where a server upgrade would break the
licensing for a specific module or client feature. The only cases where
this causes problems are:
* The upgrade licence for the server itself
* License checking becoming more pedantic for something that should have
been licensed but wasn't.
