License Statuses

When viewing information on your licenses, pay special attention to the license status that can be one of the following:

Status	Description
ACTIVE	The installed license is valid and active.
VALID	The license is valid and can be installed.
EXPIRED	The license has expired. If an installed license expires, running virtual environments continue to run. Newly started VEs, however, are suspended after 10 minutes. If they cannot be suspended, they are stopped gracefully. If this cannot be done, they are stopped forcefully. If the node is rebooted or if the license daemon is restarted, all VEs are treated as new and suspended (stopped) after 10 minutes.
GRACED	The license is installed on the server but is currently on the grace period because it has expired or the number of running virtual machines and containers exceeds the limit defined by the license.
INVALID	The license is invalid (e.g., because of server architecture mismatch) or corrupt.
