And how does NetWorker track that information? With the "enabler in use:" 
attribute. NetWorker will tell you that it's a read-only attribute, but (like 
other read-only attributes) this is not enforced by nsradmin in offline mode. 
So here's what I do instead of deleting clients.

1) Shut down NetWorker.

2) nsradmin -d /nsr/res/nsrdb

   p aliases: retiredclient
   update enabler in use: No; group: Dead and Retired Servers
   y
   exit

3) Start NetWorker.

nsrlic -v will confirm that retiredclient is "defined," but no longer using a 
license.
