When you unlicense migrated servers in Cloud Migration, you may wonder what happens to the data that has already been collected. Common questions include:

• What impact does unlicensing have on existing affinity data?
• Will reports still show historical affinity data after unlicensing?
• Is there any risk of losing other data, such as database reports or server inventory?

1. Retention of existing data
• Unlicensing servers does not delete or remove any previously collected data.
• All historical affinity data remains intact.
2. Affinity data in reports
• Reports will continue to include historical affinity data even after the servers are unlicensed.
3. No new data collection
• Once servers are unlicensed, the system stops collecting new data from them.
• You can still access past affinity metrics, but no new metrics will be recorded.
4. No impact on other reporting
• Other reporting areas, such as Database Reports and Server Inventory, are not affected by unlicensing.
• No existing data will be lost in these areas.
