Connections settings
FileMaker Server uses your license to determine how many
FileMaker WebDirect and
FileMaker Go concurrent connections are allowed. You can use the General Settings > Connections tab to log a message when the maximum number of concurrent connections is at 80%.
A FileMaker WebDirect connection is one connection. When a user is connected with FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Go client, it is counted as one connection even if the same user is connected on two different machines or two different web browsers.
You can always purchase a new license if you need more connections. See
About the license key.
The messages about the client connections are stored in the Stats.log. See
Logging and statistics settings.
To log a warning for the connection limit:
1. Click the General Settings > Connections tab.
2. Select Log a warning at 80% of the connection limit. If your license is unlimited, the connection options are not available on this tab, and the Maximum Connections: Unrestricted is displayed.
3. Click Save.
