Article explains the purpose of command "set system services subscriber-management enforce-strict-scale-limit-license"

We have received the following log message:

Mar 29 18:09:01 alarmd[8656]: Alarm set: License id=0, color=YELLOW, class=CHASSIS, reason=License grace period for feature scale-subscriber(44) is about to expire.

I found a guide on your site that suggests inserting the following command:

set system services subscriber-management enforce-strict-scale-limit-license

Could you please clarify what this command does? Additionally, do we need a maintenance window to insert this command? Any advice before proceeding would be greatly appreciated.

If you do not have the command set system services subscriber-management enforce-strict-scale-limit-license configured on your device, the system will enter a temporary demo state once the subscriber count reaches 90% of the configured licenses. This means that for a license range of 16,000 to 32,000 subscribers, the system will allow up to 29,000 subscribers to log in during this 30-day demo period. After 30 days, the system will revert to an "invalid" state and will only allow subscribers up to the installed license count.

If you configure the command set system services subscriber-management enforce-strict-scale-limit-license

, the device will strictly enforce the subscriber scaling license, and no additional subscribers will be allowed to log in once the number of subscribers reaches the maximum allowed for the license. This means that the device will not allow more than the licensed number of subscribers (up to 32,000 in your case) to log in, even during the temporary demo period.
