What is the max number of Android emulators running with intel HAXM on the same PC?

Question

I want to get as many emulators running at the same time as I can. But somehow only the first 8 emulators can run with intel HAXM acceleration support. After that, any emulators are started with a warning that HAXM is not working, and they will be running very slow, even though I adjust the max memory of HAXM.

I tried with a Mac and a Win PC, both max emulators were 8. I do have a lot of memory left, so would like to run more with HAXM.

Is there a place I can configure HAXM to support more emulators?

@dmark: Which version of HAXM have you installed? Please provide this information. Is it < 6.0.3? — MWiesner, Feb 19 '17 at 12:19
@MWiesner Yes, very similar to that one. But I still can get the 9th boot up, only without Haxm. It seems he did not get a solution yet. — dmark, Feb 20 '17 at 12:14

To allocate more memory to HAXM rerun the HAXM installer once again.

For more info refer Installation instructions for HAXM on mac

I have 12 GB memory allocated to HAXM, not working. Each emulator takes about 500 MB, eight emulators end up taking only 4 GB. It does not seem like memory problem. – dmark Feb 26 '17 at 04:44
