New Network Rendering License File Does Not Update

Replacing a new network rendering license is not reflected after applying the new key

Issue

When loading in a new license file to activate Network Rendering, the license does not update and still keeps the information of the older license file.

For example, had an old license file with 32 cores. Entered the new license file for 64 cores, but in the Network Configurator, it still shows 32 cores.
