Difference between the License Expiry Date and the Maintenance Plan Expiry Date
Each license that you create in QLM can have two expiry dates associated with it: a license expiry date and a maintenance plan expiry date.
The license expiry date specifies when the license expires. Once a license expires, a customer is typically not able to continue running your application.
The maintenance plan expiry date specifies when the maintenance plan expires. A maintenance plan is typically associated with permanent licenses to determine if a user is entitled to upgrade to a newer version of your application. Once a maintenance plan expires, a customer can continue running your application but is not able to upgrade to a version of your application that was released after the expiry date of the maintenance plan. For more details about the maintenance plan feature., please read QLM Maintenance Plan.
To extend the expiry date of a license in the QLM Management Console, locate the license in the Manage Keys tab and click Extend Expiry Date. You can select multiple licenses and extend their expiry date with a single click.
To extend the maintenance plan expiry date of a license in the QLM Management Console, locate the license in the Manage Keys tab, click Edit, and update the Maintenance Plan date.
