About the Apama license file
Apama behavior with regard to the Apama license file is as follows:
When a license file cannot be found, the correlator will automatically shut down after 30 minutes. Note that it will not be possible to run the correlator in persistent mode if a license is not provided.
A licensed correlator does not shut down when its license expires. It continues operating for seven days beyond expiration. The correlator logs periodic warning messages until it reaches the end of the seven days or until you replace the expired license.
Removing the license file from a running correlator does not cause it to shut down. It continues operation for seven days after the license file is removed. The correlator logs periodic warning messages until it reaches the end of the seven days or until you restore the license.
You can start a correlator with an expired license if it is less than seven days beyond expiration.
Refer to the licensing terms specified in your software contract for any additional legal restrictions that may be imposed on your use of this Apama release.
