Error description

• IBM Storage Protect server does not update the required exact
  module number if the library capacity is decreased to the basic
  edition module.
  
  When the library has a big capacity, the server uses the
  Extended Edition module for this library. If the number of the
  storage slots is decreased, the library requires the Basic
  Edition module. However, the Query License still shows the
  extend edition module in use. The Audit Library and Audit
  License operation do not update the required module information.
  However, the Show Slot shows the correct module.
