Network (Per Seat) Licence
Network (Per Seat) licence is software allocated to a company on an individual number of licences purchased. Once the given number of individual licences are being all used at given time, it will not allow additional use of the software. This type of licence is typically seen within school, where they will have 30 licences for example and once they get to 31 people trying to use the software, the 31st person will not be able to use the software.
Example - Atalassian Software Agreement:
