License expiration

Cortex Data Security licenses are valid for the period associated with the license purchase.

• Access grace period: After the license expires, you retain console access for an additional 48 hours. After the 48-hour grace period, the interface is disabled until the license is renewed.
• First 31 days after expiry: Cortex Data Security continues to monitor your data sources and retains data in the Cortex Data Layer according to your retention settings (default 30 days for ingested data).
• After 31 days: The tenant is decommissioned. All data, configurations, and data security policies are deleted, and data collection ceases.

Warning: To avoid data loss, renew the license or extend retention before the 31-day decommissioning window ends. Purged data cannot be recovered.
