    Multiple users can access the licenses but only one of them can be using a particular license at a time.  With your setup, it is possible to have user A using a Platform license and a Desktop license, and user B using a Platform license and a Web license, all at the same time.  But if user A suddenly needed to use the Web license then he wouldn't be able to (until user B was done using the Web license).
