License question - replace 2 nodes in a cluster of 5 using hot migration

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi All,
We have an on-prem cluster of 5 nodes with a Platinum license.
We would like to replace 2 nodes in the cluster with newer hardware. However, our license allows us to use max 5 nodes.

We think of adding the new nodes to the cluster, migrating the data from the old ones, and decommissioning the old ones.
Will it be possible to do it with our licensing? Will the cluster continue to function normally?

Thanks

Hi @qbase Welcome to the community!

You should reach out to your account team as there is typically a grace period for these types of use cases, You should be fine. I would just double check with them.
