Why does the Distributed Management Console Licensing overview display incorrect license usage?

Hello,

On the Distributed Management Console server (which is the cluster master, Search Head Cluster deployer, and license master), most things are working except the overview for the license master displays the license usage of XXX/300GB when we only have a 100GB license installed.

Drilling down will take you to the "License Usage" report, where the license size is correctly identified.

Has anyone seen this before and/or know how to fix it?

Cheers

This issue occurs when your splunk has multiple license pools. It will be fixed in next release.
