Reclaim

• You can reclaim and optionally re-apply licenses for nodes in your clusters:
• You must reclaim licenses when you plan to destroy a cluster. First reclaim the licenses, then destroy the cluster.
• Return licenses to your inventory when you remove one or more nodes from a cluster. Also, if you move nodes from one cluster to another, first reclaim the licenses, move the nodes, then re-apply the licenses.
• You can reclaim licenses for nodes in your clusters in cases where you want to make modifications or downgrade licenses. For example, applying an Ultimate license to all nodes in a cluster where some nodes are currently licensed as Pro and some nodes are licensed as Ultimate. You might also want to transition nodes from Ultimate to Pro licensing.
