Conditions

Workaround

Issue the clear license sprom hidden command. Since the command is hidden it has to be typed in full and it won't be seen in the context-sensitive help (clear license ?).

Further Problem Description

There's no impact of it, apart from occasional syslog messages, since the licensing on N9K is honor-based.
