Number of active companies on a server

Posted By FormerMember

Hi,

I currently have Sage 50 2015 running on a Windows 2012 R2 server with several Windows clients connecting. In the past year, we have been able to open two company files on the server simultaneously with five or so users each. We have recently added another company file to the server's network share and can still open two simultaneously, but not three. We've tried different orders of opening the company files on client computers, and only two companies can be opened at once when accessing the server. 

In a network / server install of Sage 50, how many simultaneous companies can be open by clients from the server?

    Take a look at the connection manager configuration file on the server it should be located at "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Sage Software\ConnectionManager\ConnectionManager.ini"

    here is the contents of mine:

    [settings]
    Start Port=13540
    End Port=13579
    Connection Manager Port=13531
    Max Connections=50
    Connection Attempts=4
    Buffer Pool Size=120

    Check that yours is configured for enough connections and ports, each user needs 2 connections, and at least 1 port. I am no experts on this, but it might be worth checking.
