You read that wrong.  You can have 5 filePro processes using sockets. 
Whether each uses 1 or 50 is irrelevant.

Because filePro isn't counting the number of sockets.

Using your server example...  Nothing in filePro stops you from writing a 
"server", and talking to 50 "clients" simultaneously, yet still uses only 1 
license.
