Step 8, page 34 reads: 

"Important: You need to renew your license before it expires since the gluster-lic-install command does not work with an expired license. Similarly, the glusterfs processes and glusterd daemon are terminated when the license expires"

Now the gluster-lic-install command does work with an expired license.  We should note that this issue only affected first version of the appliance.


We also need to document that when new nodes are added to the trusted pool, a new license request must be generated and sent to support to sign as similarly documented in: http://download.gluster.com/pub/gluster/gluster-aws/3.2/3.2.0/Gluster_Virtual_Storage_Appliance_for_Amazon_Web_Services_3.2.0.pdf  (section 6, page 16)

Leaving severity/priority as default, please change priority as deemed appropriate.
