Applying license to Eval non-disruptively

Am I crazy or is it documented somewhere that applying an appropriately sized license to a cluster in eval mode can be done non-disruptively? Can't find that statement in Server and Host Management or Installation and Setup.

You can always change the license key non-disruptively unless features are in use which are not supported by the new license key. In this case you need to manually disable such features before you can apply the new license key.

Right, that's my experience as well. I know it to be true. But is it documented anywhere?

The following link states what André said, but for version 4.1: Licensing vCenter Server and ESX/ESXi After Evaluation
