Under Linux for LM-X v3.3 and newer, the LM-X license server can support more than 10,000 concurrent clients.

In order to allow the LM-X license server to use more sockets than the default 1024 for Linux, the Linux kernel must support epoll (introduced in Linux kernel 2.5.44), and you must raise the limits for the user running the license server. To raise the user's limits, add his or her username to limits.conf, typically found under the /etc directory. For example, in the Debian Linux distribution, the limits.conf file is located in /etc/security.

The entry in limits.conf should be similar to:

username hard nofile 10050

The hard limit should be greater than the number of clients you want to serve. After editing limits.conf, you must reboot to implement the changes. (For more information about editing limits.conf, see Linux documentation.)

The license server prints the current limit to the log file when it starts up. If you've set up the limits correctly, you should see something similar to the following in the log file:

License server can serve up to 10050 connections!
