原因

Entitlements with hierarchies are filtered as follows:
All hierarchies with the same alphabetic component ("AA" in this case) are filtered out so that ONLY the entitlements with the highest numeric component ("400" in this case) are installed. Lower numbered hierarchies are ignored.

In one situation, license that is applied is in this order:
(first)
INCREMENT VMAX3_ADVANCED EMCLM 1 permanent uncounted \
    VENDOR_STRING="LICENSETYPE=ELA;SYMMID=HK19xxxxxx;CAPACITY=146;TYPE=USABLE-TB;BUNDLE=Advanced_Suite;HIERARCHY=AA300;PRODUCT_LINE=VMAX3;FEATURE_NAME=VMAX3 \
<.....>
(last)
INCREMENT VMAX3_OS EMCLM 1 permanent uncounted \
    VENDOR_STRING="LICENSETYPE=IND;SYMMID=HK19xxxxxx;CAPACITY=146;TYPE=USABLE-TB;BUNDLE=ALL_FLASH_F;HIERARCHY=AA400;PRODUCT_LINE=VMAX3;FEATURE_NAME=VMAX3 \

The last entry nullified previous loaded entitlements including the VMAX3_ADVANCED license.

解决方案

Check the license hierarchy in the license file. In this case, license team created a license that had AA300's hierarchy's and left out the VMAX3_OS "AA400" one.
