Hello,  
I have a question, can I downgrade license from SUSE 15 to SUSE 12?, or I need to buy another license for SUSE 12, this is because I bought a server with SUSE 15 but I need SUSE 12 because all my applications is working with this distribution, Thanks.

@“Daniel Oscar” Hi and welcome to the Forum 🙂  
Yes, just download the install media for SLE 12 and install and register, the license is valid for any release still in General Support to receive updates etc.
