If your download trial is over 60-day period, you cannot extend the trial duration by simply copying the license from another download trial or overwriting the existing Splunk instance with a fresh download copy. (this is most likely your case since you mentioned 'splunk.license' file name, commercial/paid enterprise license files are named differently.)

Also a download trial only allows 3 warnings before it locks down your search (except searching _internal index).

A reset license only allows to reset the count of the warnings but will not extend your trial license for another 60-day window.

Hi Miteshvohra

splunk.license is the license i got only for extending a disk space from 500mb/day to 5gb/day and my trial period is still active.

Indexing does not stop on a license violation, search will be disabled. Check your disk space if there is more than 5gb free, that's the default value.

Open a support case and ask for a reset license. Still indexing should not stop due to the violation, this Sound like a different problem

Even i am facing the same thing, i was using 500MB/day trial and feeded in 30GB logs
index=* shows me the logs in search

but since i was getting warning so i added NFR license for 20GB valid till next 1 year (with the name splunk.license) and now looks like indexing has not started as daily quota is not utilized for today's 20 GB.
