Issue/Introduction
In correctly licensed deployment, NSX Manager shows blue banner: "Features activated in Evaluation Mode remain valid only until the mode expires. Please ensure you apply the appropriate License Key beforehand to maintain access to these features.":
Environment
NSX 4.2.x
Greenfield deployment
Cause
This is default and expected behaviour.
If the system is licensed (e.g. not using evaluation license), banner will disappear after 60 days.
Note - if features that are not covered by your current license are consumed, after the expiry of evaluation period, these features will become read and delete only (creation and edit will be blocked).
Resolution
Product needs to be licensed with a correct, non-evaluation license.
Banner will disappear after the evaluation period expires (60 days).
