Splunk Forwarder License

[heterodyned]

I recently copied the splunk-forwarder.license details mentioned in our indexer to splunk.license (into one of our forwarders), but for some reason the expiry for splunk-forwarder license shows 30 days where as our enterprise license validation is upto Sept 5,2284

Would this automatically refresh? or is there something wrong in my steps

Thanks

What would be the procedure to replace that Splunk-Forwarder licensE? I believe I need to replace the existing splunk-forwarder license with new one and then restart the splunk services in order to copy it across all forwarderS?

I believe we shipped an errant -- expiring -- license for splunk-forwarder.license in one of our downloads? Please download a current version. You can always snarf a splunk-forwarder.license out of a tar or zip. (Sorry for lame response, internal system to search for the version is down right now.)
