Unable to distinguish SI Pro trial from other SI Pro entitlements

Once the 60 day SI Pro trial is enabled, full feature SI Pro is available and there is nothing that allows you to distinguish that a trial is running and counting down. If the SI Pro license is upgraded during the trial period, there is nothing that the end user can use to confirm that a licensing change has been made. The only thing they can notice is that after 60 days it will stay as SI Pro and not revert to the free version.

The MyIBM dashboard showing the information to manage Storage Insights does not give any better indication of the license or SI Pro trial in progress. SI Free (with or without Pro trial enabled) and SI Pro (Spectrum Control or Expert Care Premium entitlement) all look the same. They show up as "Storage Insights" with the option to cancel a trial. This is confusing.
