Vmware install license

Hi! I have vmware 6.5 cluster with 2 node. One node is expired evalute license (host status disconnected), I try to change the license but I receive a mistake:

The selected license does not support some of the features that are currently in use by the licensed assets.
10.90.3.23 - vSphere Storage DRS, vSphere Storage I/O Control

I disabled Storage DRS, I/O Control in Database, but still get this error.

This is due to the features you have enabled during evaluation mode and now you are changing the type of license.

Disconnect it from vCenter (make sure you remove it from vCenter as well) and directly connect to host using vSphere client. Go to Configuration > Licensing feature > Edit

Remove if you have evaluation key there and add new license key. After that re-add host to vCenter.

I assume you're trying apply a vSphere Standard or lower license, right? If yes, the message is the expected behavior, since the Standard license do not include these features, so if you already disabled them in your host, just ignore the message and try apply the license.

Yes, it's lower license. I can't find these settings on a host, don't prompt where they?
