License key vs. # of adaptors

Thanks, for making things clear.

Hi Franck_21,

The Technical Overview has a feature comparison table that indicates that FMSS supports only 1 core process:

Based on your feedback, it seems that the table isn't explicit enough. I'll update the table and any other relevant locations in the docs to indicate that FMSS supports only 1 adaptor and 1 core process.

Please accept my apologies and thanks for the feedback.

yeah I understand the issue and we do indeed have a streaming server license. What is bugging me is that nowhere (IMHO) has Adobe advertised the adaptor limitations. I'd like to make sure that is indeed the case and not a bug/installation problem

There are two different versions of FMS... Streaming server ($995 license) and Interactive Server ($4500 license). I've never used a streaming server license, but I think fmslove is suggesting that the $995 license only supports a single adaptor.

Ok but I could not find anything in the doc saying that there existed "restricted" license and I have paid the full price!

Probably, you have a Flash Media Streaming Server license which supports only one adaptor, although client connections have no limits.
