To return a network license means that a license is transferred from the License Server back to the License Activation Server. A returned network license, located on the License Activation Server, is not available for the WorkStation or Enterprise Server to check out.
When returning a license, all the licenses that were activated in the same session are also returned. For example, if seven licenses are activated in the same activation transaction, a single license cannot be returned to the License Activation Server.
To once again activate the returned licenses, use the entitlement ID that contains the returned licenses.
This workflow describes the return transaction of licenses from a License Server to the License Activation Server.
