ASA smart license no internet

My ASA license is smart registered, but there is no internet for the device (net can't be provided). What happens when the Communication Deadline exceeds.
The current license in ASA is Base.

refer to the following link for information on out-of-compliance state https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa98/configuration/general/asa-98-general-config/intro-license-smart.html#concept_502248C0B2B04A71A7837458DBDB6B35

Out-of-Compliance State

The device can become out of compliance in the following situations:

Over-utilization—When the device uses unavailable licenses.
License expiration—When a time-based license expires.
Lack of communication—When the device cannot reach the Licensing Authority for re-authorization.

To verify whether your account is in, or approaching, an Out-of-Compliance state, you must compare the entitlements currently in use by your device against those in your Smart Account.

In an out-of-compliance state, the device might be limited, depending on the model:

ASAv—The ASAv is not affected.
Firepower 2100—You will not be able to make configuration changes to features requiring special licenses, but operation is otherwise unaffected. For example, existing contexts over the Standard license limit can continue to run, and you can modify their configuration, but you will not be able to add a new context. If you do not have sufficient Standard licenses when you first register, you cannot configure any licensed features, including strong encryption features.
Firepower 4100/9300—You will not be able to make configuration changes to features requiring special licenses, but operation is otherwise unaffected. For example, existing contexts over the Standard license limit can continue to run, and you can modify their configuration, but you will not be able to add a new context. If you do not have sufficient Standard licenses when you first register, you cannot configure any licensed features, including strong encryption features.

Thank you @Marius Gunnerud but the doc is not mentioning about firepower 3100 with ASA.

The link provided earlier for a an ASA release prior to the 3100 series being released.

However, the 3100 series behaves the same way. See the later version of the same guide for confirmation:
