Overview
The application will continue receiving, processing, and storing syslog messages, and existing rules/actions will remain functional.

Resolution
After maintenance expires, you will no longer be entitled to technical support, new releases, hotfixes, or security updates. The product will not stop solely because perpetual-license maintenance has expired.
The complete blocking behavior applies to subscription licenses after their final expiration, not to perpetual licenses at maintenance expiration.
You may see a “license expired” or maintenance warning banner, but the application itself does not stop processing messages for a perpetual license whose maintenance has ended.
