We have two cisco n9k-c93180lc-ex and we enabled bgp and pbr feature and it showed the following error

%LICMGR-2-LOG_LIC_MISSING_WARNING: A feature that requires LAN_ENTERPRISE_SERVICES_PKG license is not installed. Syst
em supports honor based licensing so feature will continue to be fully functional. Use 'show license usage <package-name>' to find features using missing license.

what does this mean?
- I can use these feature without any limitation on time or ... the only things that i can not use is cisco support?
- show license usages show this output to me:

show license usage

Why there is a counter in description field of LAN_ENTERPRISE_SERVICES_PKG? is it just informational ?

Can somebody help me on this?
Thank you.

Could look like you just need to apply the correct license / active it LAN_ENTERPRISE_SERVICES_PKG and since its not activated its in "honor mode "

Could you read my question exactly and do not just reply it ? my question is not about activation or not,

my question is that it is in honor based mode right now so is there any limitation or ....

This is what is written in the NX-OS licensing guide.

Hi,

thank you RoadRunner4k,

any other idea from other peoples?

AFAIK it means you did NOT install a proper license
or the license could not be retrieved from Cisco smart licensing portal

look at this post: Solved: what is Honor based licensing. - Cisco Community

 

 Here is the definition of Honor for cisco license

"As all NX-OS licenses are honor based, even if a device does not report license consumption to Cisco or the licenses expire, the functionality of the device is not affected in any way and all features will operate optimally. This ensures that critical business operations of our customers are not impacted."

the counter in the comment can reach for example 100yeras?

"Honor Start 70000H 59M" ?

dunno !
It's a new mechanism , and all our devices have been normally licensed 
the counter will have a practical maximum, but I expect it will at least cover some years
