What’s the realistic max number of projects a single GSA SER license can handle?

Hey everyone,

I’m getting back into using GSA SER after about 8 years away. Back then, the most I ever ran was around 150 projects on one instance. This time, I’m planning to scale things up significantly - possibly up to 600 projects - and I wanted to ask what’s realistically possible these days.

I know SER is still a 32-bit application, so RAM (whether 16GB or 128GB) doesn’t make a big difference. I’ll be running it on a dedicated server, but I’m curious:

  • Has anyone here managed to run 500–600 projects on a single license?

  • Or do you need to split them across multiple licenses/instances for stability and performance?

Any feedback from those who’ve tested higher loads would be appreciated.

Thanks!

    Do you literally mean running AT ONCE? Or, were you using the scheduler to switch between projects? 
    You can run more projects by switching out with the scheduler. The number of projects, threads, and time between switches are also variables you can play with. Also, set so projects once paused go Inactive...depends if you want the same projects to run again...

    I'm thinking you meant you run 600 projects at one time...my system can't handle anything close to that at once. :|  
    But I think you can rely on the scheduler and not wasting resources to run more projects, overall with one GSA SER license. I try to, at least. :|

    Yeah, I meant all at once, I didn’t use the scheduler back then.

    But now I’m wondering - with or without the scheduler - what’s the actual max capacity for a single SER license?

    I’m planning to do tiered link building only, something like:
    Contextual Tier 1 < Tier 2 < Tier 3 (all dofollow)
    and then a secondary tier structure linking to each of those tiers all contextual as well only using no-follow or mixed do/no-follow links.

    So basically around 6 tiers per keyword I’m targeting.

    I just want to know how far one SER instance can realistically go before it becomes unstable or stops performing efficiently.
