CS1000 REL 3, Key code allows 336 Digital Ports. All digital ports are used. We want to increase digital ports by 400. Printing LUC shows 44 unused cards. If we were to expand, would it be as simple as getting a new keycode and adding digital line cards to the unused slots? Any info will be a great help....
 
yes - presumidly. Can you look in your IPE shelves physically? Should see some empty slots yo.

while you are at it, might want to LDIS in ld 32 and look for built, but disabled TNBs you can use now. if you have superloop 4,8,12 whatever
.ldis 4 0

will show you all the disabled tns on superloop 4 etc (if you didn't know that already)

I'm not sure you can get a keycode for Rel 3. We just came across the same thing needing to add a cabinet to an Option 11 on Rel 3 and add more licenses. Nortel said NOPE. You must upgrade because Rel 3 is MD.

I like BigI's idea. You can also do a nice check in LD117
