Is it possible to only upgrade the license server to 6.5.0, but keep the rest of our Splunk instance at 6.4.2?

Hi Team,

We are planning to upgrade license server Splunk instance from 6.4.2 to 6.5.0, can we upgrade only license server to 6.5.0 and keep all other instances like search head, indexer servers in version 6.4.2??

Kindly provide your inputs.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
BK

There is no value in upgrading only the license sever. It is supported and will work, but what is the point?

We wanted to use Metered license enforcement feature..

Well there you go; that shows me!

Yes this is fully supported. But from a best practices point of view, you should upgrade this and then plan to upgrade the rest of your SPlunk infrastructure to the same level.
