I think you will find that AFM in any flavor is a function of the Server license, not a client license.
 
i've always found this to be a pretty good guide, although you now need to add Transparent Cloud Tiering into the bottom column

HI All,
 
I have a tantalisingly interesting question about licensing...
 
When installing a couple of AFM gateway nodes into a cluster for data migration, where the AFM filesets will only ever be local-updates, those nodes should just require a client license, right? No GPFS data will leave through those nodes, so I can't see any valid argument for them being server licensed.
 
Anyone want to disagree?
 
Cheers,
Luke.
