its not working saying it is assigned when go to asset assigned to some cluster but no option to remove only option to change the licence which i dont have ie for VSAN Licence used for some evaluation  purpose
How can we remove this evaluation licence or warning from VC
 and how to assign valid licence to SRM 8.2 configured on vCSA 6.7
What license is this ?

Normally, there is a dismiss (an x) to get rid of the license ?

Is this a vSAN license which is evaluation, are you using vSAN ?

But there have been issues, where you may need to edit the database. (VCSA)

It was actually used for some testing done with Stretched cluster  may need VSAN Licencing ?config on multiple vc but now it is in use only on single Vc/single cluster
so need to remove the same from unused VC and need to update on used  VC
If required from Database how we can get this fixed
I would discuss with VMware Support. (to edit your database if required), they can also check LUN extend at the same time.

okay, what if we just ignore this error any Harm ?  or if use valid VSAN Licence to replace and then will try to remove the same?
Other than the annoyance no issues.

If you assign a real vSAN license, if will disappear, but remember you need to assign a vSAN license to ALL hosts in the cluster.
