Known Issues:
When Patch Management is activated, it will show the proper expiration date for the ZPM license but it might also show as as "*** 60 day trial activation ***" in the license management screen. This is a cosmetic bug only and it will not affect the expiration date or the receiving of patches. It will self-correct at the end of the evaluation period.
