The splunk edit licenser-localslave command is used to convert a Splunk instance to a license slave.

This command will configure the Splunk instance to contact a license master and receive a license

from it. This command should be used when the Splunk instance is part of a distributed deployment

and needs to share a license pool with other instances. The splunk add licenses command is used to

add a license to a Splunk instance, not to convert it to a license slave. The splunk list licenser-slaves

command is used to list the license slaves that are connected to a license master, not to convert a

Splunk instance to a license slave. The splunk list licenser-localslave command is used to list the

license master that a license slave is connected to, not to convert a Splunk instance to a license slave.
