Capturing Information From The Existing Node; Preparing The New Node - Hitachi NAS Platform 4000 Series Hardware Reference Manual

Because you are replacing an existing node from a cluster, you do not require any
additional licenses, since the cluster will retain the licenses used from the existing node
and the Cluster MAC-ID does not change, even if you are replacing node 1.
