License Error when saving Alert (Valid license)

I am currently running Splunk 6.4.1 and I am tied into our license master but I am getting a licensing message on one of my search heads when saving an Alert. "This scheduled search will not run after the Enterprise Trial License expires". Our license is valid and I am getting no errors on the indexers about exceeded volume, etc. I do not have access to our license master so I can't easily verify what is going on, on that end. Is there anything that I can check so that I don't hit a brick wall in 50 days when it may or may not expire my license?

Unfortunately this search does not work on our search head. Thanks.

You are probably operating inside of a search head cluster. If so, try using curl to access the REST endpoints against the literal name of one of the search heads. For example: instead of going to https://mysplunk.company.com, go to https://mysearchhead01.company.com via Curl like this

curl -k -u alice:pass https://mysearchhead01.company.com/servicesNS/alice/myapp/saved/searches/mysearch \
        -d search="index=mai*"

Hi philwhite, try using this search to find out if/when your license is expiring:

|rest /services/licenser/licenses | eval created=strftime(creation_time,"%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S")| eval expires=strftime(expiration_time,"%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S") | eval "size (GB)" = round(quota/1024/1024/1024, 3) | table status, "size (GB)", created, expires, label

You can always hit the rest endpoint to for the same information:
