What happens when the evaluation PowerMAN product key expires?
PowerMAN evaluation product keys are designed to expire. When this happens PowerMAN stops applying new power settings and stops reporting usage information to the reporting server (if used). The PowerMAN service continues to run and internally cache usage information. In a normal configuration the log data is retained for 28 days. If a new product key is applied PowerMAN resumes normal operation following the next system reboot. There is no user pop-up when the product key expires and the process is transparent to the user. PowerMAN continues to report in the event log.
