I wanted to ensure I had a perfect setup on a new server, so took the cheeky step of using the Pro license install command.
Alsthough it is nice having VM on the server, I do not need Pro, so I want to downgrade to gpl.
Searching the forum, all I can see is a reference to documentation I cant find and ‘installing the GPL RPM or deb or .wbm file (depending on how Professional was installed) and converting the package manager to the GPL version of the repository’.
Are there some simple commands for Centos5 to acheive this, as I do not want to break the license terms?
I just downgraded to GPL. However, with ever attempt to do a Yum update, yum tries to reinstall the Pro version. What did I miss? I followed the instructions closely, and I am running Centos5. Thanks!

As you can see, it still keeps trying to update. Not sure what else to check. I tried to clear the yum cache, but it did not help. Thanks for your help!
In order for it to be reinstalled, there would have to be an entry for the Pro repository, containing your serial number and such, in /etc/yum.repos.d/ – probably in a file named virtualmin.repo.
What does that particular file look like on your system?
And also, does /etc/virtualmin-license look like this now:
I am also attaching a screenshot of the update screen. It’s interesting because according to it, it wants to upgrade the GPL version, but in-fact it is NOT the GPL version that gets installed if I say OK.
Just followed this successfully as my virtualmin license lapsed when I realised I needed docker so switched to cloudmin a few months ago. Been meaning to do this for ages but worried it was overly time-consuming or complex, how wrong was I.
Went to /etc/apt/ in filemanager and edited sources.list to remove my username/password combo and add the gpl section to the virtualmin urls.
I have cloudmin too but this uses a different source domain (software.cloudmin.com) and different username/password (license) combo so these lines were unchanged.
Refreshed available packages in virtualmin package update manager, ran updates, then went and updated the /etc/virtualmin-license file to be GPL.
Job done, dashboard immediately recognised the change.
