Bugfix: All Components: If you run a an ES Solution Component in evaluation mode for some time, and then add the license key later, it will still stall after 6 hours as if it were running in evaluation mode. Pressing the 'reset' button once on the service configuration panel forces the it to refresh up to the production license. This bug has been fixed so that you only have to add the license key (i.e. you don't have to press the rest button).
