Will I lose my license or warranty if I install linux mac book?

The question is simple. If I put linux on macbook, can I then return my native axis without losing my license?
Of course, you can make a full copy of the ssd, but I would like to know. Will I lose licenses if I do not hide the fact of installing linux, I am also interested in the question about the warranty.

You can easily return your native axis before selling - make a backup using Time Machine to an external HDD and carefully store this HDD - then restore from it.
Or make an installation flash drive with any current version of MacOS and reinstall the system.
I won’t tell you about the guarantee - you’d better ask on the Apple forum or call the Russian technical support.
If nothing happens to the laptop during operation, then no one will ask about the warranty, which will expire.

What for?
There is also Parallels Desktop. This is how I personally hold Windows 10.

You can put it, but the last time I did it about two years ago, everything was very boring with Linux, half of the devices were buggy. Now I use parallels and fusion.

No, you won't lose your license. you can easily download any (starting from "native" for your laptop and ending with the current one) version of OS X at any time. you can take the version both from the official site and from torrents and it will be OK.
About the guarantee. I remember a thread about this a couple of years ago... I won't give the link, unfortunately, it got lost. There were cases (in the UK) when the seller denied the warranty on the basis of the installed Linux. There were also cases when the warranty for macbooks with linux installed was normally provided. Must watch.
But in any case, the fact that you demolished OS X and Linux lived on the computer for some period does not void the warranty, and if you return OS X later and after that there is a failure, you will not lose the warranty.

You can do a recovery and you don't need to download anything, everything is stored on the Hard in a hidden sector.
