Photon Server and Photon Cloud, number of concurrent users
Options
Hi, I have a few questions i need to confirm for the concurrent users for photon
1. For photon cloud ccu is 20, which means the game can only be played by 20 users at the same time worldwide?
2. For self hosted photon server, the ccu is 100, does it mean that I can have 100 users playing at the same time in the same network and have another 100 users on another network?
3. Also every user can host their own game in the same network correct?

1. yes, correct
2. the free 100 ccu license can be used on one server - on that server, 100 users can be connected at the same time. For higher CCU numbers, you need paid licenses. For each server you want to run, you need one license "seat" subscription.
3. if you are talking about redistributing Photon Server for the users to self-host - no, this is not possible5 -
Short answer - correct
Longer answer - technically you can ... BUT as you are not allowed to redistribute the Photon Server SDK, your users would have to create an account on our site, download the SDK and run the server. On top of that, if it is a commercial project, they (or you) would need to purchase a license for the servers they are running.5

3. So if I have different groups in different areas playing my game, I can't have 1 person in each group using photon control to host a server for their group to join?0
