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.
