Could not apply Free license
Hi,
We had the following error when trying access a lost, but we never exceeded the 500MB limit daily.
Error in 'litsearch' command: Your Splunk Light license expired or you have exceeded your license limit too many times. Renew your Splunk Light license by visiting visiting www.splunk.com/goto/estore
So I attempted upgrading the software to latest, but now it shows
"Could not apply Free license"
How can we get this sorted so that we're good with the <500MB par?
Regards,
Kev
