Heavy Forwarder License

I have 2 heavy forwarder on-prem and one of the HF says license is expired. I don't have a LM. I have a hybrid system with the Indexers and 2 Search Head on the cloud (Victoria Stack/ES). Where do I get the license file for one of the HF?

Submit a support request and ask for a Forwarder license.
