Revoking licenses

When the actual number of user accounts exceeds the licensed number, Recovery Manager for Active Directory (RMAD) returns a warning message each time you back up data. In this case, you can revoke licenses from the domains whose backups you no longer need. The revoked licenses are returned to the pool of available licenses and you can allocate them to a different domain.
