  • The SANnav Global View is displaying a license expiration error, although the actual expiration date has not been reached.

  • The SANnav license was obtained by directly downloading it from an FTP link supplied by Broadcom, utilizing WinSCP for the transfer.
  •  Without altering the file name or contents, the file was immediately compressed into a zip archive.
  • Despite these precautions, upon uploading the unzipped license file through the SANnav GUI, the system continues to indicate that the license is invalid.
