Description:
Cluster-aware APM permanent license is overwritten by evaluation license.
Symptoms:
When the cluster-aware permanent license key is installed on the following order, the permanent license key is overwritten by evaluation license and hence expires in 45 days after the virtual client is created.
1. NVBU module is installed.
2. Cluster-aware permanent license key is installed.
3. Create a NetVault virtual client.
Install the permanent license key again after the evaluation license expires.
This can be avoided by creating NetVault virtual client first prior to installing the cluster-aware APM permanent license.
