Yes.  All client types should be authorized with the 10pak.

Nope.

My understanding is that's for all non-server UNIXes (so like HP and AIX
stuff).  Linux and Windows are covered separately as you said.

This is all from my understanding of previous comments and discussions.
Most of the time I work on systems, it's not resolving clientpak
