Hi

After 40 days you'll lose all features related to advantage level license (e.g. bgp routing...).
Check out this link to see what's related to advantage license:

You need to register your switch to your smart account portal.
Do you have a smart account? Normally when you purchased these switches, your licenses you bought should have been deposited into this account (you should have bought essential or advantage licenses).
This link shows how to register your switch with your smart account portal:

Any updates on this? I have one stack overdue long time and still running and a second one which is now 80 days until EVAL ends.
