AVP ACP130 Server Downgrade to AVP 7.1 - Licensing

[wallo]

Good day folks

I need to back down the ACP-130 P2 server with AVP 8.0 on it (from the factory), to AVP 7.1 for a government implementation. Since AVP 8.x uses an actual ESXi license labeled on the server rather than WebLM, if not allowed or supported, we will have to jump on getting AVP dual CPU licenses.

I believe the ACP-130 is factory imaged with OEM ESXi, not AVP. You can reimage with AVP 7.1, but you will need an AVP license with correct CPU count as you predicted.
