Concept
Return Licenses on Field Servers
You can return licenses from field servers.
This is done, for example, if you for some reasons have assign and activated licenses on a field server that does not need licenses. When the licenses have been returned they can be activated and assigned on another field server.
When you return licenses, all licenses on the selected server are returned.
Consider the following cases when returning licenses on field servers.
In the online case the computer that runs Device Administrator is connected to the Internet.

A special case is semi online system where the field server is not connected to Internet, but Devices Administrator is connected to Internet. A semi online system is treated as an online system for licensing purposes.

In the offline case the computer that runs Device Administrator and the field servers are not connected to the Internet. Neither the Device Administrator nor the field servers can connect to License Activation Sever (FNO).
Use this workflow to return licenses when neither Device Administrator nor the field servers are connected to the Internet.
