Maximum number of virtual users / agent (machine)

Hello, I am planning to Load Test a web service and I am interested in knowing the maximum number of virtual users a machine can handle. I think I read somewhere that it is 300. Is this correct?  ...

Hi Andrei,


You are right, the number of virtual users per workstation cannot exceed 300 - this restriction is the result of certain limitations of the operating system. So, to simulate 2000 users, you need to use 7 workstations.
