My Server arrived in the mail yesterday. Xenserver is installed and updated. Already have my 4 vm's imported and running again. Time to start adding some more. So excited!

Not sure if there is a VM limit.

The limits I know of in the free version are:

Max of 8 cores and 32GB of RAM on the host.
Limit to the amount of RAM/vCPU you can give to each VM (depends on version)
Limits on some networking and storage stuff (such as vMotion) that you probably don't care about.
