Degraded and suspended mode

If your offline mode license expires, VMware Live Site Recovery might enter degraded mode.

When using VMware Live Site Recovery in offline mode, there is a seven-day grace period after your license expires or you deactivate offline mode. During the grace period VMware Live Site Recovery operates without any limitations. After the end of the grace period and until day 30, VMware Live Site Recovery operates in degraded mode. If you do not apply a new license key or connect to the cloud, from day 31 VMware Live Site Recovery enters suspended mode. For information on how to return back to normal operations, see How to fix degraded or suspended mode.
