SQL Monitor Licensing Calculation

Dear Support Team,

Im planning to buy license for SQL Monitoring unfortunately having a little bit confuse on licensing calculation. So, would you pleased if could consult me how many licenses and what they are that I need to buy for our my current system as the following:
- I have 4 nodes that run MSSQL 2016 Enterprise on windows 2016 Standard server:
Node1 and node2 have configured to run FCI with 2 instances which active instance run on each node.
Regarding node3,4 also the same above, they have configured to run FCI with 2 instances (different 2 above instaces) which active instance run on each node.

So, in this case the number of SQL Monitoring license i need to equip is 4 for 4 SQL nodes right, am I correct?
How about if I add 2 more SQL instances run FCI on node1 and node2, do I need to buy more license for these additional instances or licensing just count on SQL node only?

Thanks so much.
