Hey 👋🏼
I will try to find a contact internally.
As another option, you can:
- backup your data (optional)
- stop the cluster
- remove all data dirs
- start the new cluster
- activate the trial
- restore the data (optional)
So if you are just doing some tests on fake data, that should be easy. If it's closer to a production system, then extending the license is indeed the way to go.

My colleague told me that she contacted you. So we should be good.
