INF: SQL Server 5-User Version Limit to Number of Connections PSS ID Number: Q69452 Article last modified on 06-27-1994

1.10 1.11 4.20

OS/2

The five-user version of SQL Server version 1.1 is limited by the license agreement to a maximum of five users. The limit in the software is enforced by a maximum of 20 dbprocess connections. This means that if applications use more than four dbprocess connections on average, five users will not be able to connect simultaneously to the SQL Server. If this is the case, you must either recode the applications to use fewer than four dbprocess connections or upgrade to a version 1.11 or 4.2 10-user or unlimited version.

Please note that while it is possible to connect more than five users simultaneously if each user’s application opens fewer than four dbprocess connections, the license agreement still limits you to a maximum of five users.

The limitation on the 10-user version for SQL Server versions 1.11 and 4.2 is 25 connections. The limitation on the SQL Server 4.2 Developer Edition is five connections.
