Solution

There are two methods for the License Expiration Reminder to be set.

Method 1:

Starting with V8.0, the client utility SLM Configuration Wizard has a screen dedicated for License Expiration Reminder.

1. Open the SLM License Manager 
2. Open the SLM Configuration Wizard by clicking on Configure 
3. Expand the Advance Settings 
4. Select the number of days you would like the reminder to show up before the license expires. Your choices would be 0-60 days.

Method 2:

There is a registry key on each client computer that sets the license expiration reminder to X days. To edit it, do the following:

1. On the client computer, open the Windows Registry by clicking Start > Run > regedit.exe
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\AspenTech\SLM\Configuration
