What Happens When Your License Expires? (NGFW)

When a GlobalProtect Gateway license is within 30 days of expiration, a warning message displays in the system log daily until the subscription is renewed or expires.
When it expires, you can still:
  • Use the app for endpoints running Windows and macOS.
  • Configure single or multiple internal/external gateways.
You can no longer:
  • Access the Linux OS app and mobile app for iOS, Android, Chrome OS, and Windows 10 UWP.
  • Use IPv6 for external gateways.
  • Run HIP checks.
  • Use Clientless VPN.
  • Enforce split tunneling based on destination domain, client process, and video streaming application.
The precise moment of license expiry is at the beginning of the following day at 12:00 AM (GMT). For example, if your license is scheduled to end on 1/20 you will have functionality for the remainder of that day. At the start of the new day on 1/21 at 12:00 AM (GMT), the license will expire. All license-related functions operate on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), regardless of the configured time zone on the firewall.
