Applying your entitlements without node pinning

Tell the License Service which licenses apply to your installation.

If you also want to pin pods to nodes, complete Applying your entitlements and pinning pods to nodes instead.

If you're not sure whether you want to pin pods to nodes, see Planning for multiple solutions.
