SBM24 Limit on One 500v2

[marcberm]

Everything I am able to find suggests that R6+ has a limit of 42 SBM24's on a single IPO. For what it's worth, I'm dealing with R8.1 here.
Does anyone know if this is a hard limit, or more of a soft limit (like number of users that can be put into a paging group)?
Similar to paging groups, I'm sure some number "over the limit" will break things, but for SBM24's I need to understand if that number is 43 or perhaps a little higher.

I do understand the difference between supported and unsupported, knowing that sometimes an unsupported thing actually does work... within limits.

Thanks!

I honestly don't know if the 42 SMB24 limit is hard or soft... the paging group thing is soft, more a system responsiveness issue.

You'd have to ask Avaya, I think.
