Answer

The old license will be expired in 90 days.

  • The old license will report license.graceperiod.left:warning after replacing motherboard everyday at same time.
  • The report time depends on the giveback time.

Example:

The giveback time is on 13:20, the warning message will report at 13:00 once a day.

[cluster1:license.graceperiod.left:warning]: The licensing grace period has XX days and X hours remaining.

  • If under 1 day remaining, also reports once a day.
  • Old licenses will be removed 24 hours after a first new license is installed.
  • If even one new license is registered, it is needed to register all remaining required licenses within 24 hours.
