Ty, 
You are going to run a new server or an storage node? 
if this will be a server, no client connection will be neded as server
comes with 10 licenses (if i don't bad recall).
if this is going to depend of the main server (you will be using storage
node) you will need storage node license plus the client connections.

Just my 2 cents.
