This is what I discovered: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/sd-wan/3-2/sd-wan-admin/configure-sd-wan/set-up-panorama-and-firew...

 

If the SD-WAN license expires, the following occurs:

 

  • A warning displays when you Commit any configuration changes but no commit failure occurs.
  • Your SD-WAN configuration no longer functions but is not deleted.
  • Firewalls no longer monitor and gather link health metrics and stop sending monitoring probes.
  • Firewalls no longer send app and link health metrics to Panorama.
  • SD-WAN path selection logic is disabled.
  • New sessions round robin on the virtual SD-WAN interface.
  • Existing sessions remain on the specific link they were on when the license expired.
  • If an internet outage occurs, traffic follows using standard routing and ECMP if configured.

Hi @Tinkani ,

 

For Palo Alto license expiration, some subscriptions continue to function in a limited capacity, and others stop operating completely.The grace period for Prisma SD-WAN Subscriptions is 30 days.
