Hi, we have an InDesign server license, the limited version for a totally in house solution. What I can't understand from any searches, is whether we can run two or more instances on one server in order to increase throughput, so is the licensing: Per machine/server, so we can run say two instances on one server, but not two servers with one instance each, or Per instance - so if we want to run two instances of InDesign server on different ports on the same machine, we'd have to pay for another license. Does anybody know the answer please?

Correct answer Robert at ID-Tasker

It's per machine - you can run as many instances on your machine as it can handle.

Awesome - thanks! That'll make life much easier.

But without extra software - that should handle creating instances - InDesign Server is rather useless.
