Thanks for the great question!
Each entry on the CommCell client list consumes a license. When doing a refresh you can get the same entry to point to a new machine and then the license will be moved over. If you do the refresh and the new machine is a new entry in the java then you need to make sure to retire the old one ( right click in the Java console » All tasks » Retire client ) and this will release the license for you.
Kind regards

The license key is tied to the serial number, registration code and CommCell ID, which uniquely generated and is stored in the database. You can re-apply the same license wherever you restore the matching database. Some older commcells had it tied to an IP address but I think those have mostly vanished by now - this is also mentioned in the docs:
If you have a Dynamic IP license you should not have to re-apply the license when you restore the DB to a new machine, as its already in the database.
