What happens when I exceed my Enterprise license limit?

How many times can I exceed my Enterprise Trial licensed limit? How about Free?

from the documentation:

"If you exceed your licensed daily volume on any one calendar day, you will get a violation warning. The message persists for 14 days. If you have 5 or more violations on an Enterprise license or 3 violations on a Free license in a rolling 30-day period, search will be disabled. Search capabilities return when you have fewer than 5 (Enterprise) or 3 (Free) violations in the previous 30 days or when you apply a new license with a larger volume limit.

Note: During a license violation period, Splunk does not stop indexing your data. Splunk only blocks access while you exceed your license.

Note: Searches to the _internal index are not disabled even during a licensing-enforcement period, so you can still access the Indexing Status dashboard, or run searches against _internal to diagnose the licensing problem. "

so: you can exceed your Enterprise license 4 times within 30 days--the 5th time, search will be disabled. You can exceed your Free licenses 2 times, and the 3rd time, search will be disabled.

are they serious? Instead of penalizing us for using the trial when it accidently goes over the limit, shouldnt they instead just stop indexing at the limit???

I had this problem as we went way over after first adding our servers due to historical data. We have been supplied a larger licence which I have applied however it still wont let us carry out any searches now.

Is there anyway to reset this?

You will need to request a reset license. Take a look at this for more: http://splunk-base.splunk.com/answers/12970/excessive-license-violations-after-installing-new-license

You should try contacting sales to see if they can offer you a larger license for your evaluation. The licenses have a time out so if you are legitimately evaluating, I don't see why they wouldn't offer you the bigger license.
