Central Licensing grace period

Hi

We have vcore licenses for some gateways in Azure. All working as expected.

We then deployed some test machines in ESX and they are sharing the liceenses from the pool, even though we don't have enough.

The license usage report shows the shortfall. My question is how long is the grace period? At some point I assume the test machines will stop working and the licenses will be removed. Any idea how long that takes?

thanks

Why did you not apply Eval Lics ? There is no grace period afaik for a license used two times, so this is just unsupported...

It appears to be working as described in the documentation. From the admin guide

"CloudGuard licenses are attached from the license pool to CloudGuard Gateway.

The distribution procedure is permissive. Gateways are issued a license even when the pool no longer has licenses available."

 

The question is, for how long?

I see - you can ask Account Services ! Eval Lics are for 30 days, PnP lics for 14 days...

Definitely sounds like someone from Account service would know, for sure.
