English term or phrase: mobile seat
"Brand XYZ evaluated each mobile device management vendor based on its amount of mobile seats, active users, and application downloads as of December 31, 2013."

Can anyone help me out with the meaning of "mobile seat"?

Thanks in advance.

Explanation:
"Amount of mobile seats" is short for "number of license seats on mobile terminals".
See provided links for a definition of "seat licensing".
My suggestion is not the shortest you will find, but this is if you want to keep accuracy.
Note that:
- "licence mobile" won't work in French, as it is a different concept altogether.
- some providers translate "license seat" with "poste sous licence" (that's just FYI, really)
