The following includes several scenarios related to license assignment:
Scenario 1: When the assigned licenses are insufficient, and one or more licenses have expired
When the number of licenses assigned to a cluster is insufficient or if they have expired, the combination of expired and shortage licenses provides the total number of required licenses for a cluster. After the license assignment, an insufficient warning or an exceeding error message is displayed.
To assign the licenses(s) to the cluster, perform the following steps:
Go to Manager → <Admin Domain Name> → Setup → Licenses and click the Virtual Sensors tab.
