when you increase/decrease the core, its advisable to shutdown/startup the servers so you would be sure the cores are active and working

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I have a client which have informed me that they have an additional 4 cpu cores that we are not currently licensed for on the SharePoint database host xxxxxx.<br />
<br />
I checked back the ask on this node and it should have been provisioned with 4 cores but it is now at 8 cores. <br />
<br />
Does this requires a reboot to fix on servers? <br />
<br />
is there any changes that will be needed on the SQL server or SharePoint side of things to facilitate this reduction?<br />
<br />
What would be the right process to reboot SharePoint servers and SQL servers [consider all SharePoint server roles and SQL roles?
