Watchguard Firebox SOHO 6 User Manual page 43

The base model SOHO 6 includes a ten-seat license. This license
allows a maximum of ten appliances on the trusted network to
connect to the Internet at the same time. There can be more than
ten appliances on the trusted network, but the SOHO 6 will only
allow ten Internet connections. A seat is in use when an appliance
connects to the Internet and is free when the connection is broken.
License upgrades are available from the WatchGuard Web site:
