Does the OpenVPN server have a maximum number of two simulated users?

I have read that openvpn server only accepts two simultaneous connections to the VPN connection and that if you want to obtain more connections you would have to buy licenses.

I have read in various forums contradictions of this where the maximum number is not supposed to be two users per VPN.

Can someone with knowledge of OpenVPN confirm if this is really true? Thanks

I do not know what a "simulated user" is, but more than two users can connect to my OpenVPN server simo.

I just did it, here is a somewhat redacted log.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
