Grace Period Alerts

Cisco NX-OS gives you a 120-day grace period. This grace period starts or continues when you are evaluating
a feature for which you have not installed a license.
The grace period stops if you disable a feature you are evaluating, but if you enable that feature again without
a valid license, the grace period countdown continues from when it had stopped.
The grace period operates across all features in a license package. License packages can contain several
features. If you disable a feature during the grace period and there are other features in that license package
that are still enabled, the countdown does not stop for that license package. To suspend the grace period
