30 days is a bit weird to me. I always thought it was 60 days.

I will get the proper license files eventually I'm just wondering if it is considered "okay" to rely on the grace period for a couple weeks so I can stuff my face with Christmas goodies instead. The error message implies the CM service will run for 30 days before stopping but I'm hoping somebody can confirm.

Just wondering if there are any gotchas about using the grace period. Is it “graceful” enough for production use? In my practice, I only tried migrating the publisher (not enough hardware resources to practice migrating the whole cluster). Once I do obtain the licenses, will the cluster need rebooting?
