Hello,

When a license expires in XenServer, any running VMs will continue to run, they 
won't lock up.

I can't remember from the top of my head what the situation was for XCP 1.6, 
but it may be that nothing at all would happen when the "license" expires, 
because the code to do that was switched off. I do remember that we had made a 
mistake in this area in the first release, and then released an update.

I guess it depends on what exactly you have installed: what exactly is the 
hotfix that you have got?

Cheers,
Rob

Subject: [Xen-API] LICENSE_EXPIRES_SOON

Hello gentlemen.

I've got a serious problem. I'm desperate to say more precisely. My hosts are 
running XCP 1.6.After upgrade from 1.1 some of my VMs still running MS Server 
2003 started to lock up in the state of so called gray screen of death. After a 
bit of googling i discovered that it's a bug and Citrix released hotfixes 
against this disease. So i installed them. Everything went fine until recently, 
when everyday my hosts started to send emails stating that license is going to 
expire. Here's an example:

Field Value
----- -----
Name: LICENSE_EXPIRES_SOON
Priority: 10
Class: Host
Object UUID: 40aa0b58-d489-4009-a55a-95c5b151c0ce
Timestamp: 20140703T00:02:01Z
Message UUID: 58fcfb3d-e46c-18d3-700d-4c1080f4d13e
Pool name: zen
Body: Your license will expire in 27 days

I suppose it's because of an updated xapi from Citrix. My question is - what 
can i do with this, because i suppose when the counter reaches zero my servers 
could just lock up as with ordinary Xenserver. And what's worse, i'm not even 
in the office to physically reach the servers, have network access though. 
Please, i'd appreciate any help.
