Introduction

The "Token Notification Service" task periodically checks if tokens are about to reach their expiration time, and sends out notification messages to the users.

A token expiry notification may be sent based on the date of token creation and the value specified in the DeviceID policy setting "Expiration Notice (days):" (see below);

The task can be found by navigating to "Administration | Tasks", then scrolling down to the task "Token Notification Service";
