If you want to forward events from one QRadar instance to another, you can achieve that through Admin > Routing rules:
- click to Add, check the Match all incoming events (or chose the criteria that meets your requirements),
- underneath keep Forward checkbox on,
- use the Manage destinations link, click Add and enter the target QRadar's IP address, keep the Payload option, then Save
With this you should be able to get the unchanged raw payload on the target instance.
I do not recall any issues with EPS on the forwarding instance in this scenario, as the license enforcement should be on the ingress side.
