Deleting licenses
Delete a license if you mistakenly allocated it to the wrong QRadar host. Also, delete an
expired license to stop IBM
QRadar from generating daily system notifications about the expired license.
About this task
You cannot delete a license if it causes the license pool to be over-allocated. QRadar validates that the license pool has enough unallocated EPS and FPM capacity to cover the loss in capacity when the license is deleted. For example, if you want to delete a license that has 2,500 EPS associated with it, the license pool must have at least 2,500 EPS that has not been allocated to a QRadar host.
If the license pool does not have enough unallocated EPS and FPM to cover the deficit, you must adjust the EPS and FPM allocations to ensure that the pool is not over-allocated when you delete the license.
