CCR and number of licensed nodes

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hello,

I know that CCR feature requires a Platinum License but I would like to understand if, in a DR scenario, nodes of the DR cluster needs to be counted or not:

To make things clearer I was looking at the webinar at https://www.elastic.co/webinars/replicate-elasticsearch-data-with-cross-cluster-replication-ccr and the scenario I am interested into is the following:

Let's say I want to setup a 2-nodes Production Data Center and 2-nodes Disaster Recovery Data Center.

DR Data Center is not used at all beside CCR feature (to ingest CCR traffic).

In this case am I supposed to license 4 nodes (2 for Production Data Center and 2 for DR) or only the 2 used in the production cluster?

Thank you for your help

Yes, a platinum license is required for the nodes in both clusters.
