Term License Behavior after expiry (from Software Version 6.1.00)

Gigamon offers a uniform 45 day window of time after a term license expires during which normal operation continues. During the time window:

• There is no impact to the flow of traffic.
• Creating new maps and editing existing map configurations are allowed.
• Appropriate notifications are displayed in GigaVUE-OS CLI and GigaVUE-FM.

At the end of the 45 day window, you will not be allowed to create new maps or edit existing maps. There is no impact to the flow of traffic during 45 days and beyond.

The following tables summarizes the configuration behavior based on the state of the license for the different license types.
