Do I need to install a license for using features on N9Kv inside EVE-NG?

Before posting something, READ the changelog, WATCH the videos, howto and provide following:
Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

I have loaded nxosv-final.7.0.3.I6.1.qcow2 in latest version of EVE-NG and it boots up properly. But when I try to enable OSPF I got following warning messages.

2017 Aug 29 17:05:57 switch %$ VDC-1 %$ clis[23699]: !!!!!! WARNING: 'LAN_ENTERPRISE_SERVICES_PKG' LICENSE NOT FOUND ON THE SYSTEM !!!!!!. You have tried to enable a licensed feature [ospf] without installing the 'LAN_ENTERPRISE_SERVICES_PKG' license, which has not been found on the system.
2017 Aug 29 17:05:57 switch %$ VDC-1 %$ clis[23699]: System supports honor based license.Feature will be enabled and fully functional.License usage for feature will appear after licence intall and a reload.
2017 Aug 29 17:05:57 switch %$ VDC-1 %$ clis[23699]: If you have enabled this feature in error, please disable the feature. If you have not purchased the license, please contact your Cisco account team to order the license. It is in violation of Cisco's Terms of Use to use this feature without purchasing the license.


I tried to do `router ospf 1` but did not work. I tried to `license grace-period` but I got following:
ERROR: Grace period not supported.Use honor based license scheme to enable feature(s)

So do I need a valid license in order to use the features on N9Kv inside EVE-NG?
Have you followed the document

http://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/documen ... x9k-switch

above steps all done correctly

Just wipe the node and try again.

R!

Licence grace period is not available for NX9K.
Need order some demo from cisco.
But I never see such under official offers in demo. Probably need open cisco licence tac case..

Dear,
wipe means it revert your lab saved image to initial state, and boot from state what is your image prepared.
I f you want that image in the lab will boot from your saved cfg, you have to follow our howto:

http://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/documen ... x9k-switch

NX9K first boot setup steps:

1. Start node and on prompt answer:

Abort Auto Provisioning and continue with normal setup ?(yes/no)[n]: yes
Do you want to enforce secure password standard (yes/no) no

Enter passwords for admin:
admin
admin

Would you like to enter the basic configuration dialog (yes/no): no

2. Login in your switch first time:

User Access Verification
login: admin
Password: admin

3. dir flash: To get proper image name to set boot nxos from it

switch# dir bootflash:
4096 Apr 18 00:53:27 2017 .rpmstore/
4096 Apr 18 00:53:47 2017 .swtam/
14160 Apr 18 00:58:45 2017 20170418_005603_poap_26331_init.log
757307904 Feb 16 17:17:14 2017 nxos.7.0.3.I5.2.bin
0 Apr 18 01:00:14 2017 platform-sdk.cmd
4096 Apr 18 00:55:47 2017 scripts/
4096 Apr 18 00:55:57 2017 virt_strg_pool_bf_vdc_1/
4096 Apr 18 00:54:00 2017 virtual-instance/
59 Apr 18 00:53:52 2017 virtual-instance.conf

4. Enter into global configuration mode:

switch# conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)# boot nxos bootflash:nxos.7.0.3.I5.2.bin
end
copy run start

Now your NX9K after reboot or stop node will start normally. Steps 1-3 need to to do one time on every first added NX9K node on the topology !
