    <title>topic Best way to load archived applcation log files without exceeding license? in Getting Data In</title>
    <link>https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Best-way-to-load-archived-applcation-log-files-without-exceeding/m-p/350929#M64407</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;Our daily license is 15GB we use about 10GB on average.&lt;BR /&gt;
However I want to load our archived application log files which is probably 300gb. I have been doing about 10gb a day but this exceeds our license and if we get 5 violations in 30 days it will lock us out (as far as I know)&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;How best should I load the archived data?&lt;BR /&gt;
Should I ask for a temporary increased limit?&lt;BR /&gt;
Do as much as I can in one day and repeat for 4 days? (I can probably load 50 GB in a day) Blowing well past the limit each day.&lt;BR /&gt;
Or split the loads so that I only load 4-5 GB a day and try to stay under the license&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;hello there,&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;index it all at once on a single day.&lt;BR /&gt;
you will have a single violation ... if you exceed your limit, ask for a reset key&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;hope it helps&lt;/P&gt;</description>
