Satish.txt,

 

I would heed that advice and only perform this task in a maintenance window. I wouldn't risk the configuration failing to re-load.

 

The reason to re-activate the license is to update the service check date and is more usually required when upgrading to a later version. Not strictly needed for a hotfix upgrade IMHO.
