DCE licensing for CSLG sites

We have a campus software license grant with Digital; this gives us a
flat fee for all non-royalty software.

We wanted to install DCE, primarily to use DFS and solve some major
filesystem problems.

However, when we installed DCE, we needed a license PAK for the DCE
security server. This wasn't in the CSLG, and later discussion with
our salescritter reveals that it's a royalty product and thus we must
pay ~$1000/seat or somesuch for the license.

Allegedly, DCE will not install without this PAK.

I'm wondering if anyone else has found a work-around for this, or
knows of a way to install DCE/DFS without the security PAK.

Thanks,
