I recently contacted the Sales department to request a trial license to see if the Enterprise features were a good fit for what we use Splunk for. After I received the license, I installed it via the web interface, and restarted the Splunk service as required. Now, after the reboot, the Splunk interface is telling me that it is waiting for data and I can't perform any searches.
The license is correctly installed, it states that it can handle up to 10240MB/day, though I currently only use about 1MB per day. It has been working fine for the past few weeks aggregating data. It's only now that I installed the Enterprise license that my search and dashboards stopped working. I really just wanted to evaluate things like alerts and scheduled reporting, but now it's completely broken. I only have one user, the default admin user that comes with Splunk Enterprise.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why it would do this? Googling couldn't find any answers that solved my issue.
Thanks
