I have read you can have up to 10-users connected to file-shares in XP Pro.
Does this same limitation apply to Socket connections or any other type of
network connection or is it just file-shares? I have an app that needs to
serve data to more than 10 clients, do I need to get a server license to do
this?
 
You would need to install and use a version of Windows Server.

The limitation isn't on users. It's on *connections*. Each computer can, and
often does, make more than one connection to a "host" computer.

You need to get a server operating system, either Small Business Server or
Standard.

Windows 98?
 
Windows 98?
I wouldn't user 98. It's not secure nor does it offer easy user
validation. It would be a pain in the ass to administrate and would
easily be penetrated.
