YES.

EACH Embedded Server ALREADY and ALWAYS have 5 connection limit.
Not less, not more.

And once again, we think this is great benefit for VDN members.
You can sale even million of copies of your KillerApp with 5c Vserver,
and you still not pay us.
 
As I know, only Microsoft offer similar license -- on MSDN.

Well, I agree...

Points are: 
- we also keep in mind that VDN DEVELOPERS will wish to have as simple as
possible way to generate license files.
- do you realize that it will require MORE EFFORTS from YOU to support
generation of such unique PER SERVER license files and additional connection
license files?

Aha! so you on the same track...

Yes, IF you want and can you can combine OUR protection with YOUR
protection.

    ZERO.

As VDN member you can sale ANY NUMBER of your Apps/solutions that have
5 connection server.

You need buy from us only additional connections if SOME your user want more
than 5 simultaneous connections.

Yes, nothing.

Not wrong. Correct. :-)
