Hi,
Were going to be purchasing a couple N9K-C93360YC-FX2's to replace a couple 56128's. On the new 9K's we'll only need layer2 functions and the ability to create multiple SVI's and a few static routes. Do we need an additional license added to the 9K's for this like Data Center Networking Essentials? Seems a little hard to understand all the Cisco licensing doc's to get an answer.
Thanks for your guidance.

Mike,
You shouldn't need an additional license. If you end up on NX-OS 10.2(1) or newer, configure all of the features you plan to use and then execute this command:
license smart save usage all bootflash:rum.txt
You don't need a license if it returns "Failure: save status: The requested item was not found". Otherwise, follow this guide: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/nx-os/licensing/guide/cisco-nexus-nx-os-smart-licensing-using-policy-user-guide/m-configuring-slp.html
