EdbMails only counts source SharePoint sites that are actually considered for migration.
For Instance:
https://domain1.sharepoint.com
https://domain2.sharepoint.com
https://domain3.sharepoint.com
If you migrate above 3 sites to any destination server (with different domains) for any number of times (for lifetime), EdbMails only counts number of sites used as 3.
