    capacity based license work on amount of data that is being backup... it does not matter how many tape drives you configure..

    since you have the license for tape drive it looks it is Standard (or “traditional”) modle.

    if you have another license with capacity modle, you need not to worry about the license when you are adding the Drives, but need to worry about only when the abount of data being backup  is being exceed then the license.

With Capacity you should have only ONE license key that covers all agent and options.

Why would you have drive licenses separately?
