    I believe you can revert once

    You will need to speak to your reseller to get this done through Symantec as you will need to decide what you want in its place

    To be honest most people want to go the other way and convert to capacity if possible

    if you dont have a reseller find a partner that can help you:

    I work for a partner in the UK, Softcat Ltd., and have performed this backward conversion once and it's not easy, takes time, but it is definitely achievable.

    Please let me know if I can be of any help.

    It is not a technical question, but commercial. Contact your reseller to obtain a commercial offer about capacity licenses "buying back"...
