You can return licenses from automation servers.

This is done, for example, if you for some reasons have assign and activated licenses on an automation server that does not need licenses. When the licenses have been returned they can be activated and assigned on another automation server.

When you return licenses, all licenses on the selected server are returned.

Consider the following cases when returning licenses on automation servers.
