Basics of RD licensing count, windows server 2012, 10 unused licenses, 13 issued to Built-In Overused?

I have a server that showed these counts in the RD Licensing Manager list (ignoring windows 2000 entry):

Windows Server 2012 - Installed RDS per User CAL Program: Open Total Licenses: 5 Available: 0 Issued: 0 keypack id: 7

Windows Server 2012 - Installed RDS per User CAL Program: Open Total Licenses: 5 Available: 0 Issued: 0 keypack id: 4

Windows Server 2012 - Installed RDS per User CAL Program: Built-in Overused Total Licenses: 0 Available: 0 Issued 13

The firm that set this server up (long gone) probably bought ten licenses, is that how I interpret?

Does built in overused count 13 mean that the normal licenses are not being used, and up to 13 sort of temporary licenses have been issued? The license server and the rd host are both o windows 2012.

The site has at most 10-12 users active at any time. The other day a person could not log on;  I think there were ten listed users at the time; and after I logged off a disconnected user he was able to log on. I might guess that we need to buy some additional licenses...but, does server 2012 rd license server stop issuing licenses after it exceeds 10 in our case? I just want to make sure that is the reason he was able to log on after I dumped an inactive user.

I don't understand about the overused licenses and why the two sets of 5 don't seem to be used?
