SUMMARY

You are limited to 10 audience members in an Online Presentation Broadcast from Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Workstation. This is due in part to the restrictions set in the End-User License Agreement (EULA).

MORE INFORMATION

The Windows NT 4.0 Workstation licensing agreement restricts the number of computers that can be connected to your workstation at one time. The limit of 10 audience members is only available if you have no other computers connected to yours at the same time.

The following section of the EULA indicates the maximum number of connections:

Systems Software. You may install and use one 
copy of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on a single computer. 
The SOFTWARE PRODUCT may not be used by more than 
two (2) processors at any one time on the single 
computer running the SOFTWARE PRODUCT. You may 
install the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on a single computer 
("Workstation Computer") for use as interactive 
workstation software, but not as server software.  
However, you may permit a maximum of ten (10) 
computers to connect to the Workstation 
Computer to access and use services of the 
SOFTWARE PRODUCT, such as file and print services
and peer web services.  The ten connection 
maximum includes any indirect connections made 
through software or hardware which pools or 
aggregates connections.

Therefore, each computer connected to your workstation that is not involved in the Presentation Broadcast will reduce the number of audience members that can join.
