How do I prevent my license master / Deploy Server / Management Console system from having the Indexer and Search Head roles

I've followed the steps to configure my system to have my DS/LM box to be the Distributed Management Console as well. All of my indexers and search heads are it's search peers as per the guide and I am forwarding and not indexing data on the box following the steps outlined here

When I enabled it as a Distributed Management Console I got two errors for it having too many roles and now it sees itself as an indexer (false), a search head (false) and the license master (true).

How do I make it appear as only as License Master in the roles?

Open the DMC, go to Settings => General Setup and select Edit => Edit Server Roles for the respective instances. This should make the servers show up with their correct roles.
