Hi @sejelmohajj,
Yes, 9K are honor-based so even if you don't have the license installed, you can still use whatever features you want. It might display a message warning as below, but that is not actually stopping you from configuring.
switch(config)# 2018 Sep 12 08:45:07 switch %$ VDC-1 %$ clis[28226]: !!!!!! WARNING: 'LAN_ENTERPRISE_SERVICES_PKG' LICENSE NOT FOUND ON THE SYSTEM !!!!!!. You have tried to enable a licensed feature [eigrp] without installing the 'LAN_ENTERPRISE_SERVICES_PKG' license, which has not been found on the system. 2018 Sep 12 08:45:07 switch %$ VDC-1 %$ clis[28226]: System supports honor based license.Feature will be enabled and fully functional.License usage for feature will appear after license install and a reload.
If this was from ACI, "#show license file MDS201811150906500010.lic" should show
license name: ACI-ES-XF
Note: ACI-ES-XF license can be used for both NX-OS and ACI mode: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/nx-os/licensing/guide/b_Cisco_NX-OS_Licensing_Guide/b_Cisco_NX-OS_Licensing_Guide_chapter_01.html
Tier-Based Licenses
Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 7.0(3)I7(3), tier-based licensing is available for Cisco Nexus 9300, 9300-EX, 9300-FX/FX2/FXP, and 9500 platform switches. This licensing model applies to both Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) and NX-OS standalone architectures where Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches can be deployed. For the remaining Cisco Nexus platforms, we offer only the NX-OS standalone feature set. For these switches, see Feature-Based Licenses< https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/nx-os/licensing/guide/b_Cisco_NX-OS_Licensing_Guide/b_Cisco_NX-OS_Licensing_Guide_chapter_01.html#concept_A21339E151D445DE858588C4664277A0>;.
Tier-based licensing offers the following benefits:
* Consistency across ACI and NX-OS licensing
* A choice between perpetual or subscription-based licenses
* The simplicity of being able to purchase a group of feature licenses in one of two packages: Essentials or Advantage
Bug https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvk62202/?reffering_site=dumpcr is fixed in 9.2 nxos release. From 9.2 you should not see this error while installing "ACI-ES-XF" license.

I had a similar issue. It turned out that the license that was sent to me included features that were not available because of my switch configuration. I was using the switch in NX-OS mode but the license also included ACI features. By removing the ACI features the license was able to be installed. Here is my example:
License file
SERVER this_host ANY
VENDOR cisco
INCREMENT LAN_ENTERPRISE_SERVICES_PKG cisco 1.0 permanent uncounted \
VENDOR_STRING=<LIC_SOURCE>MDS_SWIFT</LIC_SOURCE><SKU>N93-LAN1K9=</SKU> \
HOSTID=VDH=XXXXXX \
NOTICE="<LicFileID>xxxxxx</LicFileID><LicLineID>1</LicLineID> \
<PAK></PAK>" SIGN=xxxxxxx
INCREMENT LAN_BASE_SERVICES_PKG cisco 1.0 permanent uncounted \
VENDOR_STRING=<LIC_SOURCE>MDS_SWIFT</LIC_SOURCE><SKU>N93-BAS1K9</SKU> \
HOSTID=VDH=XXXXXXX \
NOTICE="<LicFileID>xxxxxxx</LicFileID><LicLineID>2</LicLineID> \
<PAK></PAK>" SIGN=xxxxxx
I removed everything after the increment and installed the following:
SERVER this_host ANY
VENDOR cisco
INCREMENT LAN_ENTERPRISE_SERVICES_PKG cisco 1.0 permanent uncounted \
VENDOR_STRING=<LIC_SOURCE>MDS_SWIFT</LIC_SOURCE><SKU>N93-LAN1K9=</SKU> \
HOSTID=VDH=XXXXXX \
NOTICE="<LicFileID>xxxxxx</LicFileID><LicLineID>1</LicLineID> \
<PAK></PAK>" SIGN=xxxxxxx
I removed any identifying markers from the file so your actual license file will not have the "xxxxx". If your file only contains:
SERVER this_host ANY
VENDOR cisco
INCREMENT NXOS_ESSENTIALS_XF cisco 1.0 permanent uncounted \
then you should be ok when using it on NXOS platform.
