I don't think that is correct. My understanding is this: If you have 50 floating licenses and you say that Group A gets 10 then that means that Group A will always have 10 floating licenses no matter what. Think of a situation where your company has a 24x7 operations center. What this is for is to guarantee that your operations center always has 10 users that could log in and always have a license. This also means that the 41st user to log in who is not a member of Group A will get a license denial ...

If you want to disallow Group A from using MORE than 10, you'll need to assign the others licenses to another group/groups. I don't know what happens when person is in 2 different groups that have reserved licesnes - maybe the docs address that.
