trial license

Hi all,

anyone to help me in the below please?

I had a NBU environment with one master/media server and a variety of clients. Initially, on that master server i had applied all the licenses necessary and the environment was running fine.
two days ago I got an EVAL license to try the vault option of the NBU. i have applied this license that will last for 60 days.

now my question is: what will happen if the EVAL license's date comes to an end? will my environment stops working?
can I reapply the licenses that I already purchased from the beginning?

many thanks

    No the environment will work but the VAULT option will stop working as it will be expired in 60 days, you can get it extended again for 45 days depends on situations. But after that you have to purchase the license to use it. I guess 60 days are enough for eval?

    Presuming you didn't actually remove your other licences, your original licenced options should continue as before, it would just be the new licenced options (e.g. Vault) that would become unavailable once the evaluation comes to an end.
