Can someone please elaborate on the need for that license,
hence the fact that the cli commands is sticking. (without)

The only reference in the manual is this:

Yes, stating Honor, is that it ??
But maby not for long:
Please note that HPE Aruba Networking will remove support for Honor mode in a
future release and advanced features will only be operational if the applicable
subscription fees are paid and a valid feature pack is installed.
