Unable to use Free version of splunk

We were using splunk enterprise trial version and it got expired over the weekend. Now we have converted this to free version but we are still unable to use search capability. Our indexing volume is pretty small. ( less than 5% usage). It generated 3 warnings over the weekend and i do not see any means to clear these warnings. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ravi.M

The warnings will clear themselves in 30 days.
The only other way(besides waiting) to get rid of them would be to re-install Splunk.

If you have 3 violations of the license, then yes

Thanks for the response. Does this 30 day limit is enforced even if we use the splunk with in that data indexing limit ?
