Each SMC comes with a ConsoleWorks license for a single AlphaServer with up
to eight console lines. An additional license is needed for each additional
AlphaServer system. The type of license depends on the number of console lines
on the system (Table 1–4). You can combine the licenses. For a system with six
console lines, for example, you could use 3X-DS8CA-AA and 3X-DS8CA-BA.
