A similar question from two years is now locked.
I need to increase the node count on one of my OSH installations. I have available licenses in the subscription. The installation does not have access to the internet, so licenses are managed manually. So how do I increase it say from 725 to 800?
Options:
1) Deactivate the 725. Wait for some period of time(?). Then activate 800. The possible problem with this is Orion wouldn't be polling during the deactivate time. I'm not sure how quick the deactivate process is to make the license available again. Again, the machine does not have access to the internet so licenses are managed manually.
2) Add the additional 75 nodes using the same machine name and unique machine ID, and enter 75 as the *additional* quantity of nodes to activate. My concern with this option is it might (?) replace the current 725 with 75. And then I would be back to option 1 above.
The previous answer we #1 and am curious if that's still accurate/correct.
