There was a change to the license generation process that requires a new minimum software version of the switch.

Here is the KB article. Its the exact error message you are getting.Note that the KB says that you need to be at v7.5 or higher. But if my memory serves you need to be a version higher than 7.5.

I would upgrade to 7.7 or higher and try to load the license again.

We are now at 7.9 for ERS4900/5900
