This means the end date for the key will be the same whether the key is actively used or not. Hope that helps!</SPAN> Wed, 23 Mar 2022 16:05:00 GMT https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremecloud-iq/when-does-a-licence-activate-for-universal-switches/m-p/18459#M161 SamPirok 2022-03-23T16:05:00Z
