Yes.  The A5000 series (PHOTON) also does auto licensing.

No.  SDS doesn't do that itself.  Multipathing is handled by the sun fiber
card drivers itself and MPxIO at a layer under SDS.  

If needed, SDS was present only on the "server media kit" which came with a
server license of 2.6.  The "desktop" or "workstation" kit which came with
the desktop license does not have SDS.
