I'm working to develop solutions for Splunk for my corporate environment. I don't manage nor do I work on Splunk production servers. Yet, my role requires that I setup, use, and test Splunk. My issue is the licensing keeps getting in my way. I have no issue with literally installing and configuring a "fresh" instance everyday however, it almost seems that Splunk knows that it's been installed on host before.
I'm not trying to use Splunk without a license. We have a corporate license. However I cannot tap into that for development and testing. For testing clusters, upgrades, and other features, I cannot use the "free" version of Splunk. Any ideas on how to deal with this?
