There has been considerable confusion on whether an "application user" needs a license or not. In June 2018, Microsoft has clarified that Application Users do not count towards the limits and do not use up licenses:
All application users are created with a non-interactive user account, however they are not counted towards the five non-interactive user accounts limit. In addition, there is no limit on how many application users you can create in an instance.
