Hi all,
We're looking at an upgrade to our EM Embedded environment for external clients.
We currently hit capacity more frenquently than we would like, so my question is:
Should we upgrade from EM1 to EM2?
Or purchase an additional EM1 so that we have 2x EM1 SKUs?
Costing appears the same, so does capacity when added together.
I'm wondering if anyone has faced this issue, if there are any benefits choosing one over the other, performance improvement, failover aspects etc?
Many thanks!

Hi @darranm,
I think update to EM2 will be suitable, current one tenant only support one EM1 license.
If you buy another one, it means you need to create new tenant to use the licenses.
