BE15 license will not work BE2014.

You should upgrade from BE2014 to BE 15 and then import the license file.

You should be trialing BE 15, instead of BE 2014, if you intend to buy BE 15. Although there are similarities, there are also differences and you have to know these differences when you use BE 15. For example, you would not be able to upgrade your BE 2014 to BE 15 if you are currently using a 32-bit server. You can only install BE 15 licenses on BE 15 and not BE 2014

Contact Symantec Licensing Team. https://support.symantec.com/en_US/contact-us.html

Instead of downgrading I would suggest you to use BE15.

Confirmed with the Licensing Team:

1) BE 15 license cannot be used with a BE 2014 setup

2) BE 15 license can be downgraded to BE 2014 if needed. However, would recommend the same as the above, BE 15 is a preferable choice.
