licence enforcement for multiple indexers - warning meaning

We have just upgraded to v8.1 and because we have a small license, we are subject to the license enforcement. The document states that enforcement will occur if you receive 45 warnings over a rolling 60-day window.

What is unclear is what counts as a "warning". For example I have 9 indexers all sharing a single license pool, and when we went over the daily limit, we appears to receive 9 warnings - one per indexers. Is this expected? - for example

This pool has exceeded its configured poolsize=xxx bytes. A CLE warning has been recorded for all members

So does the 45 warning limit apply to these pool warnings?, hard warnings or license master warnings? I.e. going over the daily limit = 1 warning?

Hi @wyfwa4,

Since your 9 indexers are sharing the same license pool, License Master will count as 1 warning per day. When you exceed the license capacity all indexers in the same pool raise that warning.
