Any way to turn a managed solution into an unmanaged one?

Posted on by 110

We knew nothing when we started customizing CRM Hub. We didn't know enough to create another solution. We didn't understand the implications of converting a sandbox into a regular environment.

So we converted directly, instead of exporting the solution and importing it into a new environment.

We have a production environment with a managed solution, and an empty sandbox.

Do we convert production back into a sandbox, export the solution, and then convert to production again and import the exported solution into a sandbox?

Is there a way to "unmanage" a solution?

Yes, we should have known better. But we did not.

    there is no official way to get the unmanaged version of a solution, it's also a bit difficult to do when you have a managed solution file, extracting it from an existing environment afaik is not possible. Best approach will be to recreate the customizations.

    Hope it helps
