Hello,

My Splunk dev license expired and I renewed it, but I get immediately license violations and search  was disabled. The licence has been renewed (see attached screenshot).

Error Message:

Error in 'litsearch' command: Your Splunk license expired or you have exceeded your license limit too many times. Renew your Splunk license by visiting www.splunk.com/store or calling 866.GET.SPLUNK.

Renewing a license does not clear previous violations.  You must request a Reset license from Splunk.
