seat

In a networked computer system, a seat is a workstation that can be operated by one user at a time. Some software products are sold or rented for use to an enterprise on the basis of how many seats can or do use the product. The installation, customization, and maintenance of a network of workstations is known as seat management, a service that is sometimes offered by companies that specialize in it.
