NPCs take up a connection slot?

Since Server-side-extensions NPCs mimic a client, do they take up a slot that a connection from a regular client would use? As far as license connection numbers go?

To clarify, I am referring to NPCs created using the

Code: Select all

createNPC(NPC_USER_NAME, "127.0.0.1", 9339, getOwnerZone())
method, as seen in the NPC java extension example. I would love to implement NPCs this way, but if it uses up the connection slots of our license, I might go for a fully customized solution.
