Here is some information available on the subject. From an older manual (from 1999, oldie but still goodie!) WinCC Option Client-Server *Practical and Theoretical Limits in the Implementation of Client/Server:* - Theoretically, due to software-technical limitations, WinCC can accommodate a maximum of 64 nodes (63 WinCC clients, 1 WinCC server) in one project. - Actually, however, the type and implementation of the process communication selected for the WinCC server is of great significance for a realistic number of WinCC clients. The system can be implemented with up to 8 WinCC clients. From a newer version, 2009, taking into account the evolution of network and computercapacities and WinCC itself: WinCC: Configurations *Possible numbers of clients and servers* Different quantity structures can be realized according to the type and number of client types used. Mixed systems are possible, meaning the parallel use of clients and WebClients within one client/server system.If you only use clients, in a WinCC network up to 32 parallel clients can access a server. One client can access up to 12 servers in runtime. A maximum of 24 servers can be implemented in the form of 12 redundant server pairs. When using WebClients, the limit is up to 51 clients (1 client and 50 WebClients). In such a system a maximum of 24 servers in the form of 12 redundant server pairs can be used. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier

Hello Rajkiran;
I am sorry for not providing a valid answer.
You seem to be right. The Compatibility Tool provides this note on compatibility between the WinCC Server option and Windows XP Pro:

Windows XP is only approved for WinCC client/single-user operating system or a WinCC server project with max. 3 clients.

Note:

Windows XP is only approved for WinCC client/single-user operating system or a WinCC server project with max. 3 clients. Please also note "WinCC Information System > Configuration > WinCC ServiceMode" and "WinCC Information System > Release Notes > Notes on Process Control Options > Server project on Windows XP with clients without own project".

My first reflex was that a server PC would have a Windows server OS, as we usually select when we are building such a configuration, so my reply was out of point. Sorry for inducing you in error.
Danel Chartier.
