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.
