Lookups and license limits

I am considering to place some (large amounts) of data in static lookup tables. The data will be refreshed in batch when needed, typically about once a day. Does data in the lookup tables count towards my license limit? If so, how? Will the entire file be re-indexed every time I refresh, and count towards the limit entirely?

If you are using lookup tables correctly- i.e. not indexing them and using them as an external reference- you will not use any of your license.

Your license only effects data indexed.

I think (hope!) that I am using the lookup tables data correctly 😉 Thank you for the response
