I have 2 heavy forwarder on-prem and one of the HF says license is expired.  I don't have a LM. I have a hybrid system with the Indexers and 2 Search Head on the cloud (Victoria Stack/ES).  Where do I get the license file for one of the HF?

Hi @709_miner ,

ask the Forwarder License to the Splunk Cloud Support.
