You can absolutely switch to Connect from Classic, but you would have to register again with the guide I sent you. The GUI is also quite a bit different than the Classic GUI you're used to, but we have guides that can help you get set up.
I would recommend migrating over in this order, to minimize downtime on your network.
Once the APs connect to the HiveManager (this guide reviews how to connect them manually if they don't connect on their own: https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/CAPWAP-Guide-for-HiveManager-NG), they'll automatically update with the network policy you assigned them, they'll reboot once that's done, and then your network will be back online.
This guide reviews GUI for HiveManager (formerly NG) to help you find everything, but it reviews some features that aren't available in Connect, just so you're aware: https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/HiveManager-Select-GUI-Overview

Thank you Sam for the info. I am currently running HiveManager 8.2r2e. We are a K-12 school and our licenses have expired because we do not have the budget since the price has doubled. Will I be able to switch to HiveManager Connect?

Yes, we have HiveManager Connect which is free to use for life but doesn't include some of the more advanced enterprise networking level features. This guide reviews how to register for a HiveManager Connect instance, in case you're interested: https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/Registering-for-HiveManager-Connect
