Solution

Here are few things for license required

1) scaling license (amount of users)

2) Authentication/address assignment license

3) for pppoe DS (ppp/dhcpv6) the license would consume 2/DS client. 

 

For DHCPv4/DHCPv6 would be the same but there is a feature call single session Dual-stack that you can use. This will be 1 subscriber license used for both.

Other related information as below:

 

+single session Dual-stack is only for Dhcpv4/Dhcpv6 clients. NOT for pppoe/Dhcpv6

+The scale subscriber license if fine.

+PPPoE is the ifl so the Dhcpv6 will ride on that. So 1 license usages will be used for PPPoE/DS
