Dev license receiving exceeded licence limit

[memery_ing]

I recently renewed my Dev license and am now getting the following error when running searches

Error in 'litsearch' command: Your Splunk license expired or you have exceeded your license limit too many times.

Is there any way to reset the expiration?

Do you still have the old license installed?

If so remove the expired one and install the new one.

I don't believe the Dev licenses are stackable, so the old one may be still in your way.

Go to Settings > Licenses and remove the expired one.

Neither of those suggestion worked.

But, the new instance does work with the Dev license, so I am migrating the data across to it, which is accessible.

Thanks for your help

ah, in the case of existing warnings/license violations, try flipping the license group on the server to free, then install the new one, does that get you around it?

Otherwise, I believe if you set up another instance of Splunk and install the license there, then point your instance as a slave at it, it may get you around it.

Thanks for your reply

The only license installed is the new one.

I had numerous "This pool has exceeded its configured poolsize=0 bytes. A warning has been recorded for all members" alerts when the old license expired. I am assuming this is what caused it.
