I did that, but nsrlic still reports the same number of licenses in use (connected clients), and that client is still listed in the output. There's only one resource for that client.

Does NW have to be stopped and restarted for nsrlic to see the new count?

Is there any way to free up a client license but still keep the nsr
client resource(s)? I don't have to do it. Just curious.

Normally, I'd simply remove the nsr client resource(s), and that would
do it.

For laughs, I tried simply unchecking 'Scheduled backup', plus any
selected groups, but 'nsrlic' still reports the client as using a
license. Maybe I'd have to restart Networker?

We do have a couple of client resources that are not listed under
'nsrlic', so they don't count toward our license count, but their
indexes do exist under /opt/nsr/index. However, the 'Client OS type' and
'NetWorker version' fields are empty. I'm guessing that's why they don't
count. Perhaps, I re-created them at one point, using the same clientid
as before, and because they hadn't been backed up again, NetWorker
didn't populate these fields?
