What is the proper way to downgrade from Admin Tools Pro to Admin Tools Core? I assume it's uninstall Pro first (select the 6 items in Extension Manager with author Nicholas D.), then install the Core version. I tried this, and it seemed to work fine with no apparent side effects.

I only ask since former clients may no longer want to pay the Pro license fee and may need to do this, so I want to have the right procedure to pass along.

I did a test of trying to install Core over Pro... Well, you probably know it doesn't work and completely breaks a site. I want to avoid any of that mess and just have a procedure for them to follow.

Thank you.

Actually, the recommended method is installing the Core edition over Pro. This will remove the Pro files. Nothing breaks, as long as the Core edition you install is the same or newer version in the same version family. That is to say, if you have Admin Tools Professional 4.0.1 you can install Admin Tools Core 4.0.1 or 4.0.2 but NOT a 1.x, 2.x, 3.x or 4.1.x version.

Alternatively, you can simply uninstall Admin Tools Professional and then install Admin Tools Core. Just remember to export your settings before uninstalling for future reference. You don't need to import them after installing Core since the Core version doesn't have any security related features to begin with.
