## When Enterprise License Expires
All components will continue to function until a restart occures.
When a license expires, all licensed components continue to function normally until a restart occurs.
License checks happen only at startup, if the license expires while the component is running, nothing will happen; everything will continue to function as expected.
License updates generally do not require a restart because the component will simply pick up the new license next time it does restart. See [Updating the license key](#updating-the-license-key).
The only case this doesn't apply to is with the `-license` flag.

This means you don't need to restart components to install a new license. The component simply picks up the new license the next time it restarts. The exception is when the `-license` flag is used.
