Exceeded server limit for database copies

Situation
New DAG created, attempt to create copies for (6) databases. All create OK, but final 2 fail during seeding. Status is seen as "Failed and Suspended". A resume or update fails and warnings are generated:
"The database copy was automatically suspended due to failure item processing. At '7/5/201x9:01:14 AM' the copy of database '1234DB' on this server wasn't able to operate because the number of mailbox database copies on this server exceeds the supported limit. Recovery was not attempted."
The servers in question are activated and licensed for ENTERPRISE and manually adding the set-mailboxserver entry for maximum databases does not resolve the issue.

Resolution:
Via Exch Shell, run the following command: Set-ExchangeServer -ID -ProductKey
accept the warning (yellow) that the server is already licensed. Restart the information store and attempt to 'resume' or 'update' the copies.

Jobs a good 'un.
