This typically occurs when the **Period** is set to a excessively large value, often to prevent the license from expiring. -Although Cryptolens asks for a period (default 30) when you create a new license, this does not mark the license as time-limited. You can read more about it [here](https://help.cryptolens.io/web-interface/keys-that-dont-expire). In short, a license is treated as time-limited by either enforcing this in the Python code (e.g. if F1=true, the license is time-limited and so we check the expiration date against the current date, to see that it is still valid) or on the server side. On the server side, you can, for example, set up a feature that will automatically block expired licenses. You can read more about it [here](https://help.cryptolens.io/faq/index#blocking-expired-licenses). +While Cryptolens requires a period (defaulted to 30) during the creation of a new license, this does not mark the license as time-limited.
