Impact After Smart License Expiry

[SHABEEB KUNHIPOCKER]

Hello,

Our ESA appliances are using with the Smart Licensing. The licenses will expire in the next couple of days and still we are in the process of renewing the licenses. Kindly let us know what would be the impact if the license expires?. We will be getting any grace period  since we are using the Smart Licensing?.

Thanks

Hey mate!

With smart licensing enabled,  should any licenses reach its expiry period, it would turn into "out of compliance" state and a 30 day grace would start. After the grace period ends, the engine completely stops working.
