4. Perform a manual refresh of the license inventory to ensure that the license changes are applied:

   (Lm=1)>refreshLicenseInventory

   The system returns true if the action was successful.

5. Verify that the license inventory has been synchronized with the Arwa server by checking the time stamp:

   (Lm=1)>show lastLicenseInventoryRefresh
