License expire behavior

[Sergey Yudin]

Will system continue to relay messages after license expire ? Do we have time to renew license without downtime ?

Renew means calling support

[Thomas Anderson]

Yes, the SMG will continue to relay messages, it is designed to "fail open" when the license expires so as not to impact customer's business.
Having said that, you have to understand that the email will not be properly filtered, so your users will be at risk.
After you   receive a new licensing file (".slf") you can apply it with minimal interruption.

Warning:  There are multiple sub-components that check the license status and emit error/warning messages when the license is  **** or expired.
Depending on your local conditions (mail volume, etc.) this has the potential to eat up a lot of disk space. 
Net:  you should renew as soon as possible, in the meantime keep an eye on your disk usage.

Certain stuff will fail. But routing will continue to work for sure.
