(trial) license

Hi, I believe this questions is already answered somewhere but I cannot seem to find it.
A few days ago we have found 3x X440-24t-10g switches somewhere stored in a closet.
As no one was able to find out the password of these devices and by searching the internet, the only thing we could do was restoring the OS
This worked and the switches are now functional, however, each time we bootup a switch, it gives this message :
-> System is in trial for 30 day(s) and this will expire in 29 day(s)

hence my question, what will happen in 29 day's ? will the switch stops functioning ? is there a way to overcome this ?

many thanks for helping me out,

Mark

Hi Mark,
the X440G2 comes with the Edge License as a Standard.
ExtremeXOS® and Switch Engine Feature License Requirements (extremenetworks.com)
The trial license will enable the advanced edge and the feature license.
The 10Gbit license for the 10Gbit Ports is a feature license.
If you are using the 10GBit Ports (10GBit Stacking does not require a license) the license has to be installed.
Part numbers:
16542 Dual 10GbE Upgrade License License that converts the two non-stack 1GbE SFP ports to be 10GbE SFP+
16543 Quad 10GbE Upgrade License License that converts four 1GbE SFP ports to be 10GbE SFP+
