The login limit of Real-Time Direct usernames

Y_Intercept

We are using Real-Time Direct C# SDK, we use usernames like AP2_MFMA_HK99674 and AM2_MFMA_US07318 to authenticate.

We have a rough idea that each account can only be used to login once/twice concurrently. We want to understand the detailed terms/limitations on its use. For example,, is the limitation applied on process or machine level? If I run two programs on one machine, does that count as one or two logins? What if each program has three consumer threads?

In case you are wondering, I also open a support ticket, 14169403, their reply is the below:

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I checked with a DACS server. A DACS server uses an username and a postion to check the simultaneous login.

The postion format is ip_addr/net (192.168.1.1/net).

According to this information, if the processes run on the same machine with the same position, they can login via a DACS server.

However, I am not sure if this apply to the server that you are using. You can test it by running the applications multiple times concurrently.
