Add a Quantity field to the Licensed Feature Codes table in the MI GUI for TS7700

When installing new feature code licenses on the TS7700 GUI, there is not a quantity count for some of the features such as FC 5263.

We recently ordered new licensed capacity for TS7700 (QTY 3 of FC 5263 for a total of 300TB). We got one key code that enables 3 X 100TB cache capacity. When we enter that single key code, all 300TB is enabled. 

When reviewing the table of installed licenses below, there is only 1 line item with the FC 5263 key code we entered. We DO have a count up top for quantity of 20TB features FC 5262 - that is a little odd. So we have to do the math and subtract those  20TB features from the total capacity up top, and divide by 100 to confirm the count. While this does work, it is not user friendly.

A good reference would be the online Entitled Systems Support licensed features code page, which has the ability to expand the details of each key for the system and shows a quantity of 3. 

So the ask is to make the GUI on TS7700 have the same feature counts information as the ESS website.
