GI has not been licensed client side for several years now.  The license 
only resides on the server and once active creates a temporary license that 
will allow the configuration to run for 30 days if for any reason the real 
license becomes invalid due to a hardware change.  We felt this more than 
enough time to keep the customer running and get a correct new server 
license installed.
