How to troubleshoot: Your Splunk license expired or you have exceeded your license limit too many times

Hello Team,

My workplace bought Splunk a year ago, and I am self-learning myself with limited access to my office Splunk the tutorial I am learning provides instruction on how to install free Splunk on my home computer, so I installed it today I got the following error within half an hour, how do I exceed the license within 30 minutes I thought the free license is for 60 days.

I do see a lot of posts on the same topic sorry for the duplicate post, can someone tell me how to troubleshoot? Do I have to uninstall and reinstall again?

Thank you very much, Sanjay!

It worked after I reinstall it,

I got a different issue now, created a separate question not sure if you going to see it or not

The message is

"The maximum number of concurrent historical searches on this instance has been reached."

Before I get this message I was unable to load any data through upload .csv or .txt file, the page shows no data.

Then I mapped the directory itself through settings >> data inputs

the page spins for a long time and on search, I got the below message

"The maximum number of concurrent historical searches on this instance has been reached."

Two more messages today

The TCP output processor has paused the data flow. Forwarding to host_dest= inside output group default-autolb-group from host_src=training has been blocked for blocked_seconds=10. This can stall the data flow towards indexing and other network outputs. Review the receiving system's health in the Splunk Monitoring Console. It is probably not accepting data.
