Yes, our operator uses PDM as well as SEU.  Under the new paradigm, we 
have to buy him a seat.  Not only that, but we have to buy his 
twice-a-year backups a seat, too since they have different user profiles.

Our operator uses a twinax terminal at the console for much of his work. 
 Not a PC.  RDi is not an option at all.

One's machine gets an entitlement to a certain number of ADTS (PDM) 
seats based on software tier.  If you're lucky, your organisational 
chart matches the licence structure and you don't have to buy extra seats.
