Do you have sufficient capacity license? (CAPACITY-ACTIVE). I can't see that in 'elicense show' output..

the old man is correct. you should have been giving a LAC key or the SO nunmber to go to https://licensing.emc.com/ and get your new CAPACITY-ACTIVE key. Once install you should be able to build another ~9-TB on space. 5 disk - 2 parity = 3 * 3.6 - overhead ~9 TB
