I believe that there's a global limit of 1024 files open by default.
To increase it, echo a larger number to /proc/sys/kernel/file-max

You'll probably want to increase /proc/sys/kernel/inode-max by a similar ratio
at the same time.

No. That's purely a licensing restriction. We have no need for it.
