i have essential license of cisco 9500L switch but i am unable to create stack wise virtual to create stack wise virtual i enable #license boot level network-advantage addon DNA-advantage command, now stack wise virtual is working but could be pleas confirm that i will stop working after 90 days or it will affect my switch or any other issue will happen with my switch support?
can i use it as it is or i must but Advantage license?
Cisco does not immediately disable forwarding or tear down the StackWise Virtual configuration when the evaluation period expires. But, continuing to use the feature without the proper entitlement is not supported from a licensing perspective.

I’d recommend checking Cisco’s licensing guide for the C9500L to confirm whether StackWise Virtual is supported with your current license. Since it only works after enabling Network Advantage, you should confirm if you need a permanent license or if there are any evaluation period limits.
To avoid any licensing or support issues later, it’s best to confirm with Cisco support before continuing with this setup.
there is no Evaluation period when i check Show license summary and also I check Cisco Document "Configuring Right-To-Use Licenses" in which it is mentioned that i can use the base advantage license (not Cisco DNA Advantage),
@mhassan01 You could certainly use it, but as far as Cisco is concerned, you will be out of compliance, and should any issues arise, you will not receive support.
