Just to clear the air... OS does get ordered in 10 user blocks. WDS can 
be ordered in 1 user blocks. Below is the output from eConfig. This is 
the tool the the BPs and Distributors use to configure and price most HW 
and SW in the i world. These are list Dollars US and were generated for 
a JS12. I included '1' Named User for each orderable option. What you 
need or order is up to the client.
