My 2p worth...

Way back when Apricot had an ISP division, we had per seat licenses, and
it regularly locked out connections from other servers when the limit was
reached.  This was a pain, as the other servers were authenticating
dial-up users ;-)

As for per server licenses, I've never seen a server refuse a connection
based upon license issues, always down to application software or OS
instability.

HTH,
