This grace period starts or continues when you are evaluating a feature for which you have not installed a license. The grace period stops if you disable a feature you are evaluating, but if you enable that feature again without a valid license, the grace period countdown continues from when it had stopped. The grace period operates across all features in a license package. License packages can contain several features. If you disable a feature during the grace period and there are other features in that license package that are still enabled, the countdown does not stop for that license package.
