While MS licensing is shitty, there is nothing ambigous there, it's the same as everything else there, be it RDP, SMB or Apache.

If you use the User CAL model then any user can have any amount of connections from any amount of devices used by the same user.

If you have 100 employees using SSH (or Apache or whatever) - you need to license 100 User CALs.
