How does the licensing work?

I purchased some licenses for migrating from VMware to Proxmox. We have a cluster of 3 nodes, each with 2 CPUs. I received 6 individual licenses from Proxmox, but they are all single-socket licenses. Where can I have this changed?
 
First of, small but important difference: the primary license of Proxmox products is the AGPLv3. You are buying subscriptions :)

The Subscription for Proxmox VE needs to match the number of physical CPUs in the server. That's why you have a few options at shop.proxmox.com. If you bought 6x 1CPU/year subscriptions, please contact our shop team to exchange them for 3x 2CPU/year subscriptions.

Thank you so much, that was very helpful :)
