SYMPTOMS
Guest or Limited users who view the the System Information summary details may always see the Activation Status as &quot;Activation pending (30 days remaining)&quot; on systems that are already activated.



CAUSE
Because only an Administrator can query the activation status, Limited or Guest users always receive the default 30-day grace period information.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
