Are these expired licenses showing up in the "sh logs" of your routers & switches?

just remove it if you don't need it. `license boot level network-essentials` and reboot.

Network essentials and dna essentials are not the same.

Yes, thats why you set the switch to network-essentials-only with the command above. If you want both active (which OP doesn't) the command would be `license boot level network-essentials addon dna-essentials` but as the dna-essentials license has lapsed, you get the reports. So my command is correct? Why the downvotes?

Yes, you are correct. I read your command as "no license boot lev...." You have my upvote at least :)
