[FX.php List] Multiple WPE connections to a single FMSA machine?

[Bob Patin]

That makes sense, since FM Admin has a portal-like structure there,  
and also the heading "FileMaker Web Publishing Engines" (note the  
plural).

I haven't been able to get any clear answer to this conundrum; the FM  
person I spoke with today said that a single FMSA license allows use  
of a single install of WPE, but I neglected, in my haste to get off  
the phone, to ask him *how* one would install more than one license  
code into FMSA. From what I can see, there is no way to enter more  
than one install code into FMSA. Since I have a developer's code for  
FMSA, I was going to put it in just long enough to migrate all my  
sites, but I guess I'll bite the bullet now and move them all early  
tomorrow morning before things get cranked up.

Theoretically it ought to be smooth as silk, since I've already put  
all the sites onto the web server; all that would remain would be to  
change all the DNS for the various domain names, and then they ought  
to start working again.

The only question remaining is how to "disconnect" the old server so  
that WPE on the new server would be allowed to connect; anyone have  
any thoughts about that, other than shutting the machine down (which  
I would rather not do because of the CDML sites on that machine)?
