Oh yes, per-seat licensing can be a huge problem.
I experienced a case in which a customer, for which most of the projects of our company were done, was requiring us to use a particular tool with paid licenses. They provided 2 or 3 floating licenses for the entire team of 30+ people, making that tool a huge bottleneck for us. They kept arguing that licenses are like 1k EUR each, but I don't think they ever realized they were wasting more money each month by slowing our work down.
