As Qoosh said, if AD connected, using the same AD username, 1 license would be consumed. If not AD connected, those would be detected as 3 different users.

Hello Ardian, 
 Thank you for reaching out to the Sophos Community. 
 Regarding the workspaces, do you mean a single user has multiple devices they&rsquo;re using and each of them is logged in as the same AD User? 
 If this is the case, the single user (as shown in Sophos Central) will have X number of devices assigned to them. If each of the devices is actively being used, the sessions collectively will consume 1 license. 
 IE: 3 Devices, one active session as "Domain\User1" on each of the devices will consume a total of 1 license. Sophos Central Endpoint: License usage and calculation overview - support.sophos.com/.../KB-000035892 
 Licensing is per user and not per device 
 If a user logs into two computers using the same login credentials (e.g., domain login), there will be one user shown in Sophos Central and two associated devices.
