# Current License

If a License Key has already been applied, it will be shown in the list of Current Licenses. This page also contains useful information on license usage including start and end dates for the license, the total number of HVM sockets licensed, and how many of the licensed HVM sockets have been used.

NOTE

Once a current License expires or has reached its limits, users will no longer be able to provision new Instances or Clusters and will not be able to convert existing VMs to managed. HPE Morpheus VM Essentials will otherwise continue to function.
