Available Capacity shows the remaining TB-Days. So, the aggregate TB-Days is 115TB-Days. When you
remove Meter based Term license, the aggregate TB-Days are removed, which is 115TB-Days. You
cannot remove individual TB-Days, such as 5TB-Days or 10TB-Days. In such Remove licenses 53 a
case, PA considers it as capacity insufficient violation and enters a grace period for that disk array. You
can install the required TB-Days of Meter based Term license to end the grace period.
If the TB-Days count is negative, the removal of the Meter based Term license is not allowed. For
example, consider the following scenario where different TB-Days have been installed:
