## Symptoms

- *$UEPMDIR/logs/server_messages.log* is flooded with the following warning message:  
WARN Dispatcher-Thread-9 - No associated license was found for blade: 0, deviceID: XXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX. This blade will not be added to PAT. License cache in PAT will be rebuilt (PolicyAssignmentTableImpl)

## Cause

Expired Endpoint license, which was not removed.

<br />

## Solution

1. Open SmartUpdate, check if you have any expired Endpoint license and remove it together with all expired contracts.
2. Stop and start Endpoint process:  
   *# uepm_stop*   
   *# uepm_start*
3. Open 'SmartEndpoint \> Reporting Tab \> License report and check that the removed license is no longer there.  

   If the license was successfully removed, check the $UEPMDIR/logs/*server_messages.log* to make sure that the license error message no longer appears in the log.  

   If the license was not removed or if the license error message still appears in the $UEPMDIR/logs/*server_messages.log* , collect the following data and [contact Check Point Support](https://www.checkpoint.com/support-services/contact-support/):
