Standard License Expired

[bnatarajan]

My Standard License on PA says it expired, however the description on it is same as the last box which says License am I missing something ?

License

likely a license file was not removed when replacing it with a newer version

you can do this manually via the CLI

> delete license key [tab]

Thanks for pointing that out Reaper, I can see the Standard license there, however, I do not know what function I am missing because that is showing up as expired on the PaloAlto Firewall.  I tried even rebooting the firewall still no effect.

[reaper]

Standard is a support license model It allows you to download App-ID content updates and software updates for the firewall, and call into support during business hours Since you have a second license that is valid, you are not missing any functionality

[bnatarajan]

So I can safely remove the Standard.key file without affecting anything on the firewall is it?  The reason why I want to remove it is because that is sticking out like a sore thumb on the license page.  Won't the new license actually remove the stale license ?

[reaper · Accepted solution]

yes you can safely do that

If your management interface has connectivity to the internet (either directly or throughg a service route) uyou can always click 'retrieve licences' to get the latest licences from the licensing server
