License conversion is supported on devices with Knox Manage agent 21.7 or later. If you intend to change licenses on devices running Knox Manage agent 21.6 and lower, you must first update their Knox Manage agent.
With 23.03, Knox Manage licenses with the KLM12 prefix are available, which provide standard Knox Manage features as well as all Knox Platform for Enterprise (KPE) features. The legacy Knox Manage license (with the KLM9 prefix) is being deprecated. You must update to the new Knox Manage license (with the KLM12 prefix).
If multiple Knox Manage licenses with both the KLM9 and KLM12 prefixes exist in a tenant, the older KLM9 license is shown as Legacy Knox Manage.
