If a customer has a 500GB Enterprise license and a 300GB no enforcement license, how much data can they ingest before search is locked out?

  1. 300GB. After this limit, search is locked out

  2. 500GB. After this limit, search is locked out

  3. 800GB. After this limit, search is locked out

  4. Search is not locked out. Violations are still recorded

The correct answer is: Search is not locked out. Violations are still recorded

In this scenario, the customer has two licenses: a 500GB Enterprise license and a 300GB no enforcement license. The critical aspect of the no enforcement license is that it allows ingestion of data without immediately enforcing restrictions on search capabilities. This means that while there is a limit on the amount of data they can ingest without being penalized, the search functionality is not locked out past this limit. The distinction of having a no enforcement license indicates that while excessive ingestion may be recorded and flagged, it does not block access to search capabilities after surpassing the designated thresholds. This allows users to continue searching their data even if they exceed what would generally be permissible under a strict enforcement rule. Thus, the answer reflects the understanding that violations in terms of ingestion limits do not lead to the same immediate consequences one would expect from a standard licensed environment. Instead, they can ingest and search through all data ingested beyond their limits, albeit with the knowledge that such practices are being recorded.
