SAM Pro: Testing License Reclamation for Red Hat Installations

Hi community,

I am testing the license reclamation functionality for Red Hat Enterprise Linux in SAM Pro and would like to understand the recommended approach.

I have identified several Red Hat servers that appear as removal candidates. For testing purposes, I would like to reclaim a license from a non-production/test server and verify whether the reclamation impacts:

  • License consumption
  • License requirement
  • License gap after reconciliation

Could anyone advise:

  1. What is the correct process to reclaim a Red Hat license for testing?
  2. Is there a way to verify that the license was successfully reclaimed?
  3. After reclamation, which reconciliation job should be run to validate the results?
  4. For Red Hat server-based licensing, does reclamation reduce license consumption, or does the license requirement remain unchanged?

Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated. PFA sceenshot for your reference

Thanks in advance!

Manu
