Thanks for your post on the community. Can you take a look at this KB Article we have: https://community.appdynamics.com/t5/Knowledge-Base/How-does-AppDynamics-license-consumption-work/ta-p/34449#disabled%20agents

After reviewing it, please do share any learnings you may have gained that would have helped you free up that license.

Hello Ryan.

We were able to free our license successfully. We have 5 DB agent licenses but when we install it on one server other agent becomes passive. All these are standalone servers at different locations without inter connectivity. Could you please help me with that or should I start a new thread?

Thank you for your support in resolving current question.
