I am not sure what the current licensing scheme is, however, following previous licensing models, I would not fault you for thinking that you need 10 licenses.
FWIW, AFAICR, I've never heard of Qt licenses being dependent on development platform, and have always seen the number of developers and deployment platform be what governs.

HTH, YMMV, IANAL.
