Validating the license
Validation occurs automatically to verify the license installation. If there is a problem with the installation, one of the following messages appears:
Message

ERROR: Cannot add expired license to EVA
Description
The license text does not fit the standard structure of a license text, or contains error in checksum/any error.

Warning: License string got added with few warnings, License string is of lower access and is of no effect
The license key has already been installed in the autopass database.
A verification of the WWN and Model discovered an error. As the license string is syntactically correct, the license string is added to the autopass database but not to the selected array MLD.
The license key provides lower access than what is already installed.
While importing a license, verification of the WWN and Model discovered an error. This can occur when you add licenses for more than one array. Despite the warning, the license is installed.
An imported license key provides lower access than what is already installed.
