How to reclaim license from discommissioned ESXi Host ?

From the web, my understanding is that when we shutdown the ESXi Host, the license will be released to the vCenter Server.  However, we find that the license is not released.

Is there any step we have missed out ?

Your advice is sought.

Thanks

Just shutting down the host is not sufficient.

You have to remove the host from vCenter as well.
