Too many users

As with many companies, we have a ton of our staff working remotely.
They access our network via OpenVPN and work as normal via putty
We have CentOS 7 and fP 5.6.10R4
Internally, in the office, ssh times out in 10 minutes, but it kills the
session entirely (at least through past years experience, we've never
encountered this will staff working here at the office)
But over OpenVPN, it has 10 minute timeout built in to the config but it
doesn't kill their putty session.
I monitor every now and then and kill them when I see this
However, this appears to be causing a problem where we get 'too many users'
error
We have 95 user license, and I know that doesn't mean 95 'users' - it's
occurrences of rclerk, etc
But we keep getting this error occassionally and when I got it, I looked
and we had combined, a total of 47 instances of rclerk, rreport etc running

The only solution is to reboot the server.

Is there a way, either in fP or in OpenVPN, where I can make sure it fully
kills their session and we can stop getting this 'too many users' error?

Thanks
