License questions for NAV 2017

Hi NAV experts,
I would like to confirm two license questions before purchasing.
1. Is it correct that NAS runs as Background session which doesn't count as concurrent User connections?
Therefore, if I have 10 companies in 1 database and setup 10 job NAS for each company. I have 20 users, so I buy 20 concurrent users will be enough, right?
2. No matter how many web services, they will consume 1 concurrent user?
If I have several web services in each company of 1 database, when another system call the web services, maybe call a web service from different companies at the same time. It only consumes 1 concurrent user, right?
Therefore, I only need to buy addition 1 concurrent user for web service. Is it correct?
Thank you!

Point one is correct. Thought the NAS session is a client type of it's own (not a background session). Just like the background session it does not consume a license.
Point two is a little bit different. Calling a web service does consume a license just like the Windows Client or Web Client.
Note: If one user account has one or multiple active client session open with NAV using different clients (RTC, Web Client, Web services) connected to one or multiple NAV companies within the same database it will consume only one NAV license.
If the NAV web services are called from the external system with the same user/service account your statement is kinda true, because it would only consume one license. But if you have multiple external applications consuming web services it's likely they use different service accounts. In that case count each user as a license consuming user.
This is a technical explanation. I don't know about the theoretical license consumption in the contracts with Microsoft. That depends on what the external application does i think.5
