Question

Hi
We have FMS 3 installed in two boxes with load balancer and we wanted to know max connections and bandwidth information of that FMS server. After viewing few topics here, I feel its included as part of license agreement.
FMS is installed in Linux box and we don't have GUI for that to view license information with Management Console.

How can I view max client connections and bandwidth information of the installed server.

Thanks in advance,

    In my experience I've always maxed out the bandwidth available at the NIC before maxing out system resources. I always use Windows for FMS, but unless you have some bad-ass 10gigE NIC cards in your servers (I almost always have 1 or 2 1Gbps cards to work with), I bet you'll find the same results on your Linux boxes.

    What bitrate will your videos be encoded at, and what is the capacity of the NICs on the FMS machines?

    The admin console will display that information under the Manage Servers > License tab.

    That said, unless you have some sort of custom license, you have unlimited connections and bandwidth, as the FMS3 license does not limit connections or bandwidth like the FMS2 license did.

    If you don't have a license, you are limited to 10 connections.

    Thanks Jay for quick reply.
    In addition to that even if we have unlimited connection and bandwidth, System should support this one. We have Linux box with OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 4),4GB RAM and Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.20GHz
    How many simultaneous connections it has hold for streaming a video? We wanted to know what is the capacity of our System?
