Is it possible to downgrade OE Management to OE Explorer?

Advanced features of OE Management are not being used.
Uninstall OE Management to preserve system resources and use basic functions of OpenEdge Explorer instead.
Is this possible without uninstalling and re-instalilng the entire OpenEdge product?

Progress products can be added to an existing OpenEdge installation by running 'setup' in Windows or 'proinst' command in Linux/Unix environment.

For OpenEdge release 10 and below, it is not possible to uninstall only OE Management without uninstalling and re-installing the entire OpenEdge product.

For OpenEdge 11 and above, it is possible to uninstall only OE Management without uninstalling the entire OpenEdge product:

On Windows, run "License Update", select 'OE Management' and then 'Remove'.

On Unix/Linux run 'proupdt' and then 'Ctrl-R' to get a list of installed Progress products which can be removed. Use arrow up/down and hit Enter to select a product which you wish to uninstall. Then use arrow up/down again and select 'Remove Selected License(s)' by hitting Enter.

To uninstall OE Management in OpenEdge release 10 and below, save all required Progress configuration details, uninstall the entire OpenEdge and then re-install required OpenEdge licenses. Configure 'new' OE installation from the saved Progress configuration files

In OpenEdge 11.7, a fathomRestrictedMode system property was added to the the product in order to provide the ability to disable OEM and use only OEE functionality when the OE Enterprise Advanced RDBMS or OpenEdge Management license are installed. For further information refer to Article:

As with any other Progress maintenance task, it is advised to have a good backup before making any configuration changes.
