Max Parallel Kernels per license?

I've built a 4 Raspberry Pi cluster and able to use all 16 cores with 16 Kernels (http://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/39684/benchmarking-mathematica-performance-on-the-raspberry-pi/124097#124097), but would like to know if it is possible to get a license for more than 16 Kernels?

Isn't the license limit 16?

To reiterate what I already posted above,

The licensing limits how many kernels can run on a single Raspberry Pi

so you just might try it... this is my screenshot of 50 kernels running on 10 Raspberry Pi boards with the standard license configuration that every user gets.

I think you must address the question to the Support!

What is stopping you? For example, launch 5 subkernels on each of your boards, for a total of 20.

The licensing limits how many kernels can run on a single Raspberry Pi, you could in fact run up to 16 subkernels on the same Pi (not that it is a good idea to do this on a single board). Since you are running several different boards, you should be fine.

I understand that 16 Kernels can be used ... I'm interested in using more with additional networked Pi boards
