| Enterprise features require an Enterprise Edition license key, sometimes referred to as Enterprise license, license key, or license. You can evaluate enterprise features with a free 30-day trial. To request a trial license key, to extend your trial period, or to purchase a license, contact https://redpanda.com/try-redpanda?section=enterprise-trial[Redpanda Sales^]. | ||

| Starting with version 24.3, new Redpanda clusters automatically receive a trial license that's valid for 30 days, allowing unrestricted use of Enterprise features. This evaluation period begins when the cluster is created for the first time. After this period expires, inactive Enterprise features are disabled, and active features enter a restricted state. |

Should we expand on what is a restricted state?

It's expanded on in the table. Restricted state means different things depending on the feature.

@mattschumpert Seems like...odd messaging for the 3 licensed features that have None for the consequence of not having a license. I suspect that is so we don't compromise the security of someone's cluster, but it also suggests that you can continue to use these 3 features without a license indefinitely. Is that the case?

@Feediver1 correct. Our goal with the sanctions was to not cause users to lose access to the cluster (such as limiting kerberos or oidc authentication).
💯 agreed! |

| If the `License violation` status is `true`, you must either obtain a valid license or disable the enterprise features in use to ensure compliance. | ||

| If the license is within 30 days of expiration, a warning is logged: |

@JakeSCahill this warning section seems perhaps a bit out of place and the message is not accurate, though we should have it somewhere within the licensing docs
The warning behavior depends on the type of license and shows up in more places for TRIAL than for enterprise.
All the details of the behavior and final messages are here: https://redpandadata.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/product/pages/924516359/Community+Monetization+CTAs+License+UX#RPK
