Hello Guys,
Have U ever experienced such issue:

__Some background. The project is meant to start as an internal demo on CE and later switched to a Vertica Premium Edition license.
We are asking because our previous experience shows that when a database is created in CE, it does not start up after the Vertica instance is upgraded to Premium Edition. A new database had to be created.
__

In my opinion it should not happen as binaries are the same - only license keys differs....Maybe they will changed the binaries/updated incorrectly (while they will updating the license keys).

Hi Maciej,
As far as I know, you can upgrade the license key from a CE to an Entreprise Edition one (a couple of our customers did so)
It doesn't work however the other way round, ie you can't downgrade from a Entreprise Edition to a CE, there is actually a warning in admintools:
