I believe they are mistaken.  I believe that it's a process count,
not a socket or connection count.  You can have dclerk open as many
sockets/connections as it wants, and it only counts as one process
as far as the license is concerned.

I just had my 5-user socket license open 50 sockets in dclerk.
