Trial License

I installed splunk trial (4.3.4, build 136012) on Win2008 and within few hours I ran into "License warning issued within past 24 hours". I am very positive I did not use 500MB (the only index I turned on was local windows app). Indexes tab shows 1MB on few indexes, the rest is 0MB

When I look at the license screen, I see

"This server is acting as a standalone license server"
"This server is configured to use licenses from the Forwarder license group"
"Licensed daily volume 1 MB"

there is one alert

Severity Time Message Indexer Pool Stack Category

(15 hours ago) Indexing quota exceeded for this pool, poolsz=1048576 bytes myservername auto_generated_pool_forwarder forwarder license_window

any idea?

yes the "Forwarder license group" means 1MB license.
go to manager > licensing and switch to trial or free license group. (they should be 500MB)
