2781578 - "License Expired" error when enabling HDI container in MDC HANA environment

In a Multitenant Database Containers HANA system, you are using SWPM to enable HTA for HDI but it is failing with error:

TRACE xxx (root/sapinst) (startInstallation)
Write on stdin: DATABASE_SID=SYSTEMDB

...

TRACE xxx (root/sapinst) (startInstallation)
HDB Error: Connection to xxx is possible, but errors exist. [LICENSE_EXPIRED]: Error during execution of SQL command: SELECT "VALUE" FROM "PUBLIC"."M_HOST_INFORMATION" WHERE "HOST" = (SELECT MAX("HOST") FROM "PUBLIC"."M_SERVICES" WHERE UPPER("SERVICE_NAME") = 'NAMESERVER' and UPPER("COORDINATOR_TYPE") = 'MASTER') AND UPPER("KEY")='BUILD_VERSION' SAP DBTech JDBC: [437]: only commands for license handling are allowed in current state.

Although tenant database is licensed. This error can be found in sapinst_dev.log.

SWPM has detected this as a multitenant DB; therefore, it is not checking the tenant db but rather running the SQL statements in SYSTEMDB.
