I have 2 clients that are AFTD storage nodes. They're part of a Windows 
cluster. In a couple weeks, they're going to stop needing to be storage 
nodes, and become just regular clients.

In order to do that, I need to:

- run NetWorker setup again on these 2 clients, and this time choose 
"Client" and not "Storage Node"
- change the client config of these 2 clients, and clear the "Storage 
Node" entries, in "Globals 2 of 2" in NMC (we don't make use of the "clone 
storage nodes" and "recover storage nodes" entries)

Will that free up the 2 Storage Node licenses to be available to whatever 
future machine will need them, or is there something that I need to do, 
with the licensing? As these 2 nodes become regular clients, 2 different 
clients will then become Storage Nodes, so I will need to be sure that 
there are unassigned licenses available for the new Storage Nodes.

Thanks
