What you have here would indicate a SMP 2100, two CPU's - the OSF-BASE
400 unit license licenses the first CPU, and the 100 unit gets the second.
This just licenses the CPUs. Interactive users are licensed by OSF-USR PAK's.
I don't see any OSF-USR licenses - normally there's a 2 user OSF-USR
license PAK (200 units) that's installed automatically along with the OSF/1 software.
OSF/1 2.0 didn't enforce OSF-USR licenses, so you could get unlimited logins
regardless of whether you had the right PAK's or not. OSF/1 V3.0 and beyond
does enforce interactive user licenses (OSF-USR PAK's).
For more users, you need to install additional OSF-USR PAK's.
If you have an unlimited users OSF-USR PAK (perhaps the number of units = 0)
then you need to deinstall the 2 user pak that's automatically installed
(it has an authorization number of OSF-BASE-IMPLICIT-USER).
