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?<br><br>--<br>Mike Norton<br>I.T.
