You need a license , you could try enable the grace period for licenses --license grace-period

Licensing Requirements for VDCs

Without a license, the following restrictions will prevent you from creating additional VDCs:

• Only the default VDC can exist and no other VDC can be created.
• On all supported Supervisor modules, if you enable the default VDC as an admin VDC, you can only enable one nondefault VDC.
