You have got from me
A) license_emb_xxxxx file.
    you need put this file and only it into licenses folder
    of your distribution.

B) this license_emb file is signed by YOUR signature.
    you have also get from me this SIGNATURE.

You MUST send this signature from your client in the option parameter on any
connect to Vserver.

Yes, on any and each connect.

Your Vserver is SIGNED by licene_emb file.
It will accept ONLY signed connections now.

Yes.

And note, for you own distribution you MUST choose other port.
To not conflict with OTHER Vserver-based apps.

So on server you specify this new port in the ini file
And on connect you send it also.

But what problems?
Port and Timeout is not related to the number of connections.

In the server ini file.
