I had this same problem (sysadm wouldn't let me activate more than two terminal) changing /etc/.license from "2" to "3" and it worked OK. And it contined to work OK in that I could fire up all my terminals under sysadm but, more recently, I found I couldn't log on with more than the console plus 2 different IDs and wrote ISC about it who told me that to install the multi-user ... which I already had. I was waiting for another reply from ISC when I saw your posting and set /etc/.license to read "unlimited" and, eh, voila! it works!
