Limit reached on loading chartbooks

Having an issue loading more than 16 chartbooks. Each chartbook is the same set of 17 charts, but each chartbook is setup for a different futures symbol. Chartbooks load fine up to about #16 or #17. When I try to open more, the platform either freezes, or continues but fails to load any more chartbooks.
Example: 16 chartbooks loaded fine. Opened 2 more chartbooks, and one populated with only 3 charts of the 17 in the chartbook, and the other chartbook didn't populate any charts.
*Also when this occurs, none of the menu function commands work anymore. They are clickable, but they fail to function - (Close chartbook; Global Settings; Save As; Activity Log, etc).
Happens with main instance and sub-instance.
What is my resource limitation I'm running up against, so I can navigate around it?


last chartbook to load was 6N, after this unable to load more.

This is a Windows operating system limitation and there is no solution other than to use multiple instances of Sierra Chart. We would recommend probably using about four instances with four Chartbooks per instance.

There is no way around this. Windows is a Mickey Mouse operating system.


What is my resource limitation I'm running up against, so I can navigate around it?

Upcoming versions of Sierra Chart are going to be more resource efficient. We are actively working on that. But it is not going to likely make that much of a difference. Windows is still a terrible operating system.
