If a license has been set as unlimited, it is possible to remove that setting.  The setting is removed through the Current Entitlements screen.  Find the license record that is set as Unlimited, edit the record and uncheck the box for Unlimited and save the record.

Doing so will stage a new record in the Manage Entitlements screen.  That new record will restore the license to its original count and will remove all record of the unlimited version of the license.  This will be done on the next Consolidate run.  

When Consolidate runs, it will remove the current unlimited license records by marking them all as having expired yesterday.  This will trigger the underlying logic to deallocate any licenses that had been allocated and to archive and then remove the license records.

NOTE:  If any of the unlimited licenses were allocated to active authorizations, the re-allocation of the re-instated limited license will not occur until the License Optimizer is run.  The License Optimizer is a special case that is performed by Consolidate.
