Currently we're using platinum license (in-house) and it is going expire on July 1st 2023 12:59 AM. We have procured new platinum license for this year and its start date is "start\_date\_in\_millis":1656633600000 which is "Friday, July 1, 2022 12:00:00 AM". So Ideally this new license can be applied any time before July 1st 2023 12:59 AM as the start date of the new license is "Friday, July 1, 2022 12:00:00 AM" ?. Am I correct in my understand? ---

You'd need to ask the Support team this 🙂 ---
