Configure the subscription alert warning period

- Sign in to the Code42 console.
- Double-click the logo in the upper-left corner of the Code42 console.
The command-line interface appears in the Code42 console. - Enter the following
prop.setcommand at the top of the command-line interface:
prop.set c42.license.alerter.warning.period.in.days <days> save all
Replace <days> with the number of days before the renewal date. The default value is 30. The minimum value is 7 and the maximum value is 90.
Setting a new value with a
prop.set command overwrites any existing value.- To verify the new setting in your Code42 environment, enter the following command:
prop.show c42.license.alerter.warning.period.in.days
The value of the property appears.
