   For a NO_SHARE PAK (PAK != license) in a cluster, you need
to modify the thing to limit it to a particular node:

      @ SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM
[...]
      5. MODIFY an existing Product Authorization Key
[...]
   Use the MODIFY option to change the following information
   for a product currently in a license database.

        o  The number of license units available from a license that
           includes the MOD_UNITS option.

        o  The node or nodes in a VMScluster that can access the
           licensed product.
[...]

   On a non-clustered system, no one cares.
