Newbies Ronald Zellner Posted October 19, 2000 Newbies Share Posted October 19, 2000 I have an FMP Mac server with web-based (Home Page HTML) access for surveys, grades, etc. Lately users have been getting occasional errors when submitting: "user limit exceeded. The maximum number of licensed users are connected." I can restart FileMaker and it is then OK, or it corrects itself with time. Apparently the IP guest limit is set at 10. I assume this is the cause. How is this set and how can it be increased? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to get Filemaker Unlimited which allows you to host an unlimited number if IPs. ------------------ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Kurt Knippel Consultant Database Resources mailto:[email protected] http://www.database-resources.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies Ronald Zellner Posted October 20, 2000 Author Newbies Share Posted October 20, 2000 What do you mean by "only host 10 unique IPs in any given 24hr period". I am not talking about anyone connecting to the data base, but simply using a submit button to send in a survey from a web page (creating a new record). Does this mean I can't receive more than 10 different surveys in one day? I have not experienced this problem in the past. Is this also true of FMPro 4.0?

Vaughan Posted October 22, 2000 Share Posted October 22, 2000 It means that FMP5 vanilla refuses web connections from more than 10 different IP numbers over a rolling 24 hour period. If ten people (each on a different computer) connect to the server then no more can connect in until 24 hours have rolled by. No, FileMaker Pro 4 did NOT work this way. Which explains why so many people are still using and developing for FMP4. I am. Apparently people are (legally) selling their surplus copies of FMP4 on Ebay and making quite a few bucks. To get over the 10 user limit with FMP5 you'll need to purchase the "unlimited" version, which is significantly more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each person who hits that "submit" button is one unique IP, so no more than 10 different computers can submit surveys in an 24hr period. You need Filemaker Unlimited. One of the bad things about FMP 5.0 ------------------ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Kurt Knippel Consultant Database Resources mailto:[email protected] http://www.database-resources.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
