Is it possible to convert ZoneFlex R500 to Unleashed ? Any instructions ?

I was wondering if it is possible to convert regular ZoneFlex R500 AP to Unleashed firmware. I was not able to find any instructions on how to do it.

Yes, but it's not recommended because if you ever need an RMA you'll get another ZoneFlex firmware (matching) replacement.

Here are the Support site knowledge base articles to convert both ways for evaluation testing purposes.

Thank you very much for the reply. I heard that if you convert R500 to Unleashed it can not be converted back. Has anyone tried this?

George,

Unleashed R500 AP hardware is same as Controller R500 AP hardware. There is no restriction as such that if you convert R500 to unleash, it can't be brought back to standard AP.

I've definitely tried doing this in both directions before with a R600.
