Troubleshooting
Problem
An appliance with a license that is enabled for a feature that did not exist in an earlier release might enter Fail-Safe mode when it is rebooted after a firmware downgrade. This problem can occur if you downgrade to firmware release 5.0.0.8, 4.0.2.13, 4.0.1.17, or to an earlier fix pack release for these versions.
