Background:
I'm wondering - is the only solution to this as follows? OR, is there another way?
Thanks!

I had completely forgotten about this page: Recommended License Changes (flexera.com)
The answer to my question would basically be that you revisit the recommended license page periodically, and it would suggest to re-link the application to the license, and you can accept those changes.
I've spot checked and it is suggesting to add certain applications to the licenses we removed them from. 🙂
This is the recommendations that @swannd is referring to - thanks!

I see what you mean @johnksilverwood , the PO wizard component does 'remember' a processed PO in such case. I have tried manually 'Remove' the PO from License's Purchase tab, the PO doesn't even reappear in the unprocessed PO page. For now I can only think of re-creating an identical PO, still cumbersome but at least a different way 🙂
Cheers
