ISE evaluation licenses expiring

[icetea]

We recently upgraded our production 2.0 instance to 2.7 and are in the middle of getting a Security EA license which will encompass our ISE solution and were advised to hold off until it is completed.  Problem is, our license dates are set for the end of the year but the Base license has a "limited access" warning message at the 45 day mark. 

How will we be limited once this does pass the 45 day mark?

From Cisco docs: For all active Cisco ISE licenses, notifications about license expiration are displayed in Cisco ISE 90, 60, and 30 days before the expiration. Notifications about non-compliant license consumption are also displayed in Cisco ISE. If your license consumption is out of compliance for 45 days, you will lose access to all the Cisco ISE features until you purchase and activate the required licenses.  

I would suggest reaching out to your Cisco reps to assist with getting additional eval licenses.  See section 'Additional Evaluation Licenses' here as this will help too: https://community.cisco.com/t5/security-documents/how-to-get-ise-evaluation-software-amp-licenses/ta-p/3630795

Lastly, make sure you have accounting setup to ensure consumption is accurately accounted for.  HTH!
