. This field is not displayed if you are using the solution under a subscription. - License expiration date – the date when your right to use the solution activated by adding the current key expires. If the key was added on several SVMs at different times, this field shows the date for the SVM where the solution will expire soonest. If you are using the solution under an unlimited subscription, the field value is
