brand -u is the answer. It reveals that you can login at the system console
12 times and be one license count.

If a user logs in on a telnet session more than once from a given local IP,
the license use count bumps one for each invocation. One keyboard can equal
many license uses.

Is this correct?

Yes, one keyboard can consume multiple users against a license.
If your users are telneting from PCs, you might consider FacetWIN
from FacetCorp. Their terminal emulation allows multiple sessions
to SCO from a single PC while taking up only 1 user license.
Lots of other good features, tremendous support, tremendous people.
