Software Scheduling Collocated BH running 7.1 & P9

We have backhauls running Software scheduling & are collocated with Firmware as 7.1 .When I telnet it is being reported as they have Platform 9.

Can I apply 7.3 software & convert them into Hardware scheduled.without converting them to Advantage platform.

Will collocation work…?
