This will only work if the /AUTHORIZATION=[...] is different. 
Otherwise, there would be no point in node-specific licenses.

Just to avoid unnecessary replies, I think you now know that LICENSE

and LICENSE LOAD happens automatically at boot, so you don't need any 
LICENSE commands in the startup.
