Hi,

I’m trying to downgrade my license from Pro to GPL

Im on Ubuntu

I followed instructions form here  
[https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/installation/uninstalling](https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/installation/uninstalling)

I have updated my sources  
when i run apt-get update i can see the virtualmin url with the gpl in it

but what do I do next?  
I tried apt-get upgrade, does nothing

I tried to apt-get install webmin --reinstall  
i tried apt-get install wemin-virtual-server, package not found,

how do i downgrade?

You have to install a specific version in order to downgrade.

Do the following:

`apt-cache madison webmin-virtual-server`

Pick the latest `gpl` package in the list, and copy the full version string, then run the following:

`apt-get install webmin-virtual-server=6.0.11.gpl`

For example, where `6.0.11.gpl` should be replaced with the latest gpl version.
