Hi @u712596,

Have you removed the expired license before installing the new one?

If not, I would suggest you to remove it. You can do it using CLI.

First list all your licenses and identify your expired one:

splunk list licenses

Then, remove your expired license using its hash:

splunk remove licenses LICENSE_HASH

 After that you can install the new license. I had a similar issue a while ago and this helped solving.
