I think it simply boils down to Adaptive Policy requires Advanced licensing be it on the MS390, C9300-M, or MS130X/R.
The wrinkle is that with the introduction of the MS130 we moved away from model specific licenses to general family licensing. With this there is no distinction between X and non X models from a license perspective. Example, any 8 or 12 port model is LIC-MS130-CMPT-xY (enterprise) or LIC-MS130-CMPTA-xY (advanced). Same for 24 and 48 port models.
And because co-term enforces a single license tier for the org if any MS390 or C9300-M advanced licenses are present the org is now advanced. And with that any MS130 now needs to also be advanced. This is true even if no MS390s or C9300-Ms are in the inventory or adaptive policy is enabled.
If any changes are made to the way this works I'll be sure to update this thread.
