## Remarks

- Has an effect only on servers that get their license from M-Files Manage; elsewhere it does
  nothing.
- Requires the system administrator server role (server right `manage_licenses`). On servers
  that get their license from M-Files Manage, a vault administrator can also call it from a
  vault session; then only that vault's license is refreshed.
- In a server-level session, all licenses of the server are refreshed.
