Hi Splunk,
Recently we meet the issue of license limit but we did not notice this until we triggered the license violations for 7 times. So the search function was disabled, with a warning message on the top of the browser - "reached the maximum license violations for this time period". Today I updated the license from default trial license (500MB) to 5GB, and restarted splunk, but the search still disabled and we are continuing get this message.
Here is the new license info:

I ran into the same problem, did ./splunk clear all, and the problem was solved. thank you very much!
None of these commands work.
E:\Program Files\ELO\bin>splunk show license
This command has been removed.
E:\Program Files\ELO\bin>splunk clear all
Command error: 'clear' is not a valid command. Did you mean the 'clean' command?
(NO I didn't mean 'clean')
