DDS licencing is "per drive". So if you want to share one drive between two
storage nodes, you need one licence, but for that licence you could share
that same drive between several storage nodes. You need as many DDS
licences as the number of drives you want to share.

Sadly, if you had upgraded earlier you would not have needed to purchase
the shared autochanger module you have already paid for. Shared autochanger
module is free with NetWorker 6.1.x.
