7-mode you could re-apply the license for another 3 months or so, but you should pay for the feature if you are going to continue to use it. I’m assuming the flexclone vol will still be there after an upgrade, but you won’t be able to take any more flexclones (obviously) .  You may want to have a temp license ready in case things go south, so contact your account team.

    Hello
    Does anyone know what happens when you have a FlexClone demo license that has expired and you have FlexClones that were created during the period the license was active, and you reboot the filer?  Do the FlexClones still work?  Do they get disabled but the data is still there?  Do they get deleted?  I was about to update a filer to 8.3.2P12 and AutoSupport correctly noted that this license had expired.  Data on these clones is still used, of course, so losing it would be a terrible thing.

    One thing that sprang to mind is that I am SnapMirroring these FlexClones to a DR site already, so I guess worst case scenario I need to mirror them back (though fully inflated they are about 6t each).
