How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck
wood? (damn thats as difficult to type as it is to say!!)

Depends on the application, the company and who you speak to there.
The main "official" line is you need one license for each computer
that accesses the MS Office software. However thats ludicrous in a TS
environment, so it often comes down as something along the lines of
"dont let your users exceed the number of licenses you have".

It's very much a don't ask, don't tell, question!
