Enterprise licensing for self-hosted setups is priced per chunk of 64 GB of RAM in your cluster. I.e. if you run Elastic on 2 machines of 32 GB RAM each, you pay for 1 node. It sounds like there may have been some poor communication going on, because they definitely don't base the pricing for self-hosted setups on the number of employees or anything like that.

They're also not super uptight about you going over the licensing limit for a while. We've been running a couple of licenses short since we scaled our cluster up a while back. Our account manager knows and doesn't care.
