You are charged per Work Centre, not per user. This means that the number of users does not affect the cost, only the number of Work Centres. A valid license is required for each Work Centre, and adding one without the necessary license will result in system access being restricted. Always ensure that you have the correct number of licenses to avoid any disruptions.
Before you create a work center make sure that you have a licens allowing you to add a new work center.
