What happens with the license of the Connected controller attached to Operations Center?

Issue

Don’t know the way I should manage the license when attaching a controller instance to an Operations Center instance.

Environment

CloudBees CI (CloudBees Core)
CloudBees CI (CloudBees Core) on modern cloud platforms - Managed controller
CloudBees CI (CloudBees Core) on modern cloud platforms - Operations Center
CloudBees CI (CloudBees Core) on traditional platforms - Client controller
CloudBees CI (CloudBees Core) on traditional platforms - Operations Center
CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise
CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise - Managed controller
CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise - Operations center

Resolution

The recommended option is to let Operations Center manage the license for all the instance running as connected controllers.

If you are running CloudBees Jenkins Platform with Master/Executor license you might have an option to choose between Production and Test license for the controller.
