hi,
i'm configuring a 4431 with UC bundle and it's shipped with IOS-XE 17.4.1 by default.
i got an on-prem license server which uses smart call home and we're not ready yet for the newer CSLU transport/config in our 4K routers since we're still running 16.12.x code.
my question is, can i 'downgrade' my 4431 to 16.6.x code which our other voice router is currently running in order to register this to on-prem smart license server?
will it lose it's UC feature/license once i downgrade? or will it turn UC license to 'eval' then i have ask TAC to 'convert' or issue my UC license to a smart license?
smart license is such a pain and it delays our network deployment.
