Unregistered State

The management center can become unregistered in the following situations:

• Evaluation mode expiration—Evaluation mode expires after 90 days.

• Manual deregistration of the management center

• Lack of communication with the Smart Software Manager—The management center does not communicate with the Smart Software Manager for 1 year. Note: After 90 days, the management center authorization expires, but it can successfully resume communication within one year to automatically re-authorize. After a year, the ID certificate expires, and the management center is removed from your account so you will have to manually re-register the management center.

In an unregistered state, the management center cannot deploy any configuration changes to devices for features that require licenses.
