Your environment is partially licensed. The operational features and data will be available for licensed clusters only.

Prism Central displays a blue banner with the following message even though the cluster is fully licensed:Your environment is partially licensed. The operational features and data will be available for licensed clusters only.  This is a cosmetic issue that does not impact performance or functionality.This issue is fixed in Prism Central pc.2023.1.0.2 and newer releases.

Warning! The current license level does not allow for the use of this feature

If you see a warning that says, "Warning! The current license level does not allow for the use of this feature" while creating a File Server, you can still proceed by clicking Continue. This warning is informational and will not prevent the file server creation process from continuing.   If the CONTINUE field is greyed out, you need to download the file image and set the data services IP. This will enable the CONTINUE button.

Renewed Licenses not updated in Prism Central 

Getting notifications about expired licenses every time you open Prism Central, however, the licenses have been renewed?  Dont worry! If you renewed the licenses and the old expiration date is still showing up on Prism Central or the Portal all we need to do is relicense Prism so the latest expiration date is updated. Complete the Licensing process in Prism Central and your environment shouldl be updated to the latest expirations.Check KB 8098 for detailed instructions for non renewed and KB 7837 for already renewed licenses…
