When the ZPM license expires the functionality of the ZPM will behave in the same manner as “ZCM-Only State. See Using the Patches Tab within a Server Group.
In a license Expired ZPM, the limitations of the ZPM are mentioned below:
Patches: Only patch scanning is supported and deployment of cached patches is supported, regardless of platform (including Linux and Mac). You cannot cache additional uncached patches.
NOTE:The Administrator will be able to review the patches that were cached. The cached patches can be used for deployment, but no new patch subscription will be downloaded until the license is renewed.
The bundles or patches that were downloaded before the license expired will not be disabled nor deleted.
