It seems clear enough to me: there are 2 types of licenses. Under the named users license scheme you need as many named user licenses as you have registered users. Under the concurrent users license scheme you buy a license for a number of users logged in at the same time so you can have many more potential users than on your license but only the number on your license will be able to log on at any given time. When that number is reached you can only log in if someone else logs off whereas with named users you are guaranteed a seat.

Obviously there is an interest to go for concurrent users if you have many occasional users and no big peaks in demand. Also, obviously, prices per user are different in named and concurrent schemes.
