Smart license questions

I am new to smart licensing.  So i have registered these switches 9500 switches. But I have few questions

What if they loose communication to cloud, would the device fall back to eval?

If it fallbacks's to eval/expires, do we get a notification of any sort?

What happens to the features if eval too gets expired? We got the advantage license for the feature it supports, specifically bgp/mpls.

Have a look. The license does not require daily Internet access. You can also set a locally on a server that has Internet access if your switch will not have access to Internet.
