Not entirely true!
If the pro store was functioning in single mode, "downgrading" pro to gold databse is as simple as installing a NEW gold store, and then pointing the database/blowfish.

You can even salvage/copy over many (just about all) skim templates (with minor exceptions) from the SAME VERSION fo pro to gold.

But if you are in 4.4.x pro and you want to go to 4.5.x goldplus, it's a job.
You CAN preserve your database, but it's not a quick one afternoon project. It requires multiple steps, backing up and restoring as you go.

I would ONLY do this in a dev partition.

If you don't have command line skills, don't even bother trying. Unless you are prepared to learn command line skills.

For the recod (I documented this elsewhere in the forum, I downgraded my 4.4.4pro to 4.4.4 gold. I also upgraded my 4.1.9 gold store to 4.5.3 gold plus. It can be done.
