    Mahmoud, I see a Partner badge next to your name, which implies that you are working for a Symantec Reseller?

    Since NBU 6.x has reached EOSL on 3 October 2012, you will probably not be able to 'downgrade'.
    The 7.5 license may work - you will know when you add it.

    Why not upgrade your environment? 
    Your 6.5.x installation is no longer supported.

Dear Marianne 

   Yes I'll  upgrade my environment except that now I'm in phase of hardware refresh then I'll upgrade 

Actually It's a two phase process 

First : Hardware refresh in which a new master server is used the same version of 6.5.5 will be installed restore the catalog make sure that everything is working fine and properly

Second: Netbackup 6.5 upgrade to the newest version netbackup 7.5 

Thanks & Best Regards,
