Can not enter command "ip pim sparse-mode under interface mode in ASR9K

Hi After I enabled multicase and interface as the below. I still cannot enter command "ip pim sparse-mode" under interface mode in ASR9K. Any one can give some suggestion? Thank you

6W(config)#multicast-routing
6W(config-mcast)#ipv4 interface all enable
6W(config-mcast)#exit
6W(config)#commit

What feature set does your license provide?  Generally, multicast routing isn't available on the base LAN feature set.

Thank you so much for your fast reply. I think the device has all licenses. maybe we can use some command to confirm the issue. I tested the issue in physical and virtual lab, and get the same results.
When you do a "show version", what is the image installed?
router pim
dr-priority
hello-interval
join-prune-interval

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# multicast-routing address-family ipv4
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-mcast-default-ipv4)# interface all enable
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-mcast-default-ipv4)# interface-inheritance disable
!
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# router igmp
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-igmp)# vrf default
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-igmp)# interface GigabitEthernet0/6/0/0
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-igmp-name-if)# router enable

This can be found in the following configuration guide on page 23-24.

When showing version, it shows a lot image, one of them is asr9k-px-5.3.1

Here is what i want to know: I want to migrate command "ip pim sparse-mode" under interface mode from ASR1K to ASR9K, but the command cannot be entered. so what other command can i use in ASR9K to replace "ip pim sparse-mode" since "ip pim sparse-mode" cannot be used in ASR9K?

now i just got the answer. they say by default the interface is already enabled for sparse-mode and do not need to use that command.  that also means it do not need to enable dense-mode under interface. do you agree?
