You need to buy NSX licenses to run it.

Very early versions required you to have Enterprise Plus vSphere licenses as well to license the DVS.

Now you just need an NSX license and it will license the DVS too.

Licensing pricing and editions have just changed.

Note: vDS now comes bundled with NSX for vSphere (NSXv) and VMware Virtual SAN (VSAN) in vSphere 6.0.

In VMware NSX for vSphere 6.2.1, adding an ESXi host to the vSphere Distributed Switch fails with the error: Host <IP address> is not licensed for the VDS feature. Cannot add this host to dvSwitch (2143397)
