Under Max License Limit Alert

Does anyone know how to suppress the License Limit Warning? I am 7 under my Max limit and i am getting the License warning, was curious if i could suppress this or even if there is a known tweak for this.
thanks all !
Adam SJune 17, 2017 03:10:52 PMHi Dan,
I’m sure your local Zerto sales guy would be happy to get you additional licenses to make that go away ;-).
In all seriousness though, that is a good question. I haven’t personally ran into this before, so I’ll have to do some digging. Give me a few days (Its a Saturday now) and I’ll get back to you (though anyone else is free to chime in if they know the answer.)
Thanks,

Today you can acknowledge the alarm but it will ultimately return. No way to suppress it yet, but Product Management team is well aware and has it on the feature backlog. All just a matter of time!
Adam SJune 17, 2017 07:09:17 PMThere we have it. The Zerto Master, Mr. Masters has spoken.

Dalai Llama XIVBuddy EJanuary 29, 2018 02:45:37 PMWe just received this today, any word on when this will be able to be suppressed? Seems a little aggressive to alert at 15% of license usage when I would assume that most people aren’t buying a lot more licenses than needed for their environment. I would personally like it better if it would alert when you are creating a VPG and don’t have the licenses available for the amount of servers you want to protect or something in the dashboard that says 48 of 50 VMs in use. The license alert is pretty obnoxious and looks like you have a licensing problem even when you don’t.
Phil JJuly 26, 2018 06:57:03 PMI just came across this, too. I don’t like yellow on a dashboard when there technically is nothing to alert upon. License “alerts” should be left for reports and emails. It goes back to the ‘lack of planning on your part’ argument. We’re well aware of our current license limit. Again, I don’t want a false positive ‘warning’ condition when nothing is wrong. I’d like to see this implemented sooner rather than later, especially since this has been a public discussion for a year (going by this thread alone).
Mark LJanuary 9, 2019 05:56:57 PMI see notes on this thread that this is a known complaint, that PdM is aware and has it on their backlog. Any news for 2019 on when this will be addressed? It’s very annoying as currently configured.
We’d prefer it be a configurable item including: threshold for notification, choice of notification method (dashboard, email, etc), and have to option to suppress permanently.
Thanks.

I am going to pile on too. We have 758 licenses used out of 850 (ie, 92 free licenses) and we are still getting a yellow alert on the dashboard (presumably because it is above 85%). Extremely annoying.
