Viewing alarms on the license
The SDMC dashboard contains an Alarms tile, which displays information about alarms. Ordinarily, this tile is grayed out. Whenever the SDMC server raises an alarm, it will turn into the color of the alarm of the highest level.
There are three levels of severity in SDMC:
- Critical (red)
- Warning (yellow)
- Information (gray)

License expired: A critical alarm has been raised. To resolve this issue, import a valid license.
License about to expire: Beginning 30 days before the expiration of the license, a warning alarm will be raised. To resolve this issue, import a license that is valid for more than 30 days.
No more user licenses are available: A critical alarm has been raised. To resolve this issue, import a license that allows more user accounts, or delete inactive users in order to release their licenses.
