#### _ **Product/components** used and **version/fix** level:_ Natural CE 9.2.1 Docker image (softwareag/natural-ce:9.2.1)

#### _Detailed explanation of the problem:_ The ndv92.xml license file inside the container has ExpirationDate 2023/12/31.

NDV crashes with “Invalid license for Natural Development Server 9.2.1”.  
I do not have Empower access to download a new license.  
Can someone provide valid ndv92.xml and nat92.xml for Natural CE 9.2.1?

#### _Error messages / **full error** message screenshot / **log** file:_ Invalid license file for ‘Natural Development Server 9.2.1’!

Question related to a free trial (Community Edition Docker image, not a paid instance).

Please ensure that you use the original license file without modifications.
