Hi @raza555 .
Based on the output you provided, it appears that your device has been successfully registered for Smart Licensing but has not yet been authorized with the appropriate licenses.
The license authorization status shows that the device is currently in EVAL MODE, indicating that it is operating under an evaluation license.
Please, ensure that the appropriate licenses have been assigned to your Smart Account and then associate those licenses with your device. You can check the available licenses in your Smart Account by logging into the Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM) portal.
There are some prerequisites for smart licensing. This video from the official "Cisco Secure Firewall" channel can be very useful for your case Smart Licensing - ASA .
Also, check the official documentation for more info: Chapter: Licenses: Smart Software Licensing (ASAv, ASA on Firepower)

Can you provide a screen shot of your ASA Base licenses that exist in your Smart Account?

Hi Marvin, may i ask please... what it will happen after period of 90 days are reached... will firewall be unavailable? will he still pass data traffic ?

It will give you warning messages in both the device and on the software.cisco.com portal. However it will continue to pass traffic.
