Violation (limited functionality): A license parameter has been exceeded for more than 7 days, certain user management functions are disabled

The following table describes how each license state affects the ESA authentication server. In all cases, an administrator will be able to turn off ESA authentication for a subset of the users (by disabling 2FA for those users) or for all users (by means of system configuration or uninstalling the product).
