::: important

- If you remove the license, Veeam Backup for Salesforce will automatically switch back to the built-in *Community Edition* license. In this case, you will be able to protect maximum 50 Salesforce licensed users. For more information on license editions, see [Licensing](licensing.md).
- If you change the license package from *Advanced* to *Foundation*, archiving will be no longer available and all existing archival policies will be disabled.
