What management actions can a Dynatrace Cluster administrator perform during the inactive period of a Managed license?

A Dynatrace Cluster administrator can change the license key during the inactive period of a Managed license. Managing the license key is a crucial task for maintaining compliance and enabling necessary features within the Dynatrace environment. While the license is inactive, the administrator still retains the ability to adjust the licensing configurations, which includes updating or changing the license key to potentially reactivate the license or switch to a different licensing model that may better suit the organization’s needs.

The other actions listed relate to different functionalities that are either not permissible during an inactive licensing period or require an active license. For instance, reinstating deleted monitoring data is not feasible without an active license, as Dynatrace requires proper licensing to access and manage stored data. Adding new monitoring data also relies on having an active license since monitoring capabilities depend on the licensing status. Accessing cloud-based resources typically requires an active connection and valid licensing; therefore, during an inactive period, this capability is also restricted.

Thus, changing the license key stands out as the only valid management action that can be performed without the constraints imposed by an inactive license, allowing administrators to address licensing issues proactively.
