Grace Period and Light Restricted Access Mode, available only with License Model 2025, allow for a limited time of continued usage after exceeding your license's usage limit. The illustration below describes the conditions under which Grace Period and Light Restricted Access Mode are initiated.
A Grace Period is initiated after exceeding the limit by no more than 125% for the last 30 days of monitoring. After a Grace Period is initiated:
- The Grace Period will remain in effect for 14 days or until the usage drops back below the limit
- If the usage limit continues to be exceeded for more than 14 days after the Grace Period begins, Light Restricted Access Mode will automatically be initiated
- If the limit is exceeded by over 125%, Restricted Access Mode will be initiated
- After the Grace Period ends, another Grace Period will not be available for 180 days from the time that the limit was last exceeded
- If the limit is exceeded before 180 days has passed, Light Restricted Access Mode will be initiated
In order to run License Statistics without continuing to use the Grace Period/Light Restricted Access Mode/Restricted Access Mode, you must:
- Load a license with a higher user limit
- Wait for the user count to drop; for example, due to a decreased number of active users or disabled license server(s)
