Frequently asked questions
Does managed HiveMQ CE support both MQTT 3.1.1 and MQTT 5.0 clients simultaneously?
Yes. HiveMQ CE handles MQTT 3.1.1 and MQTT 5.0 connections on the same broker, so legacy and modern clients coexist without a separate bridge.
What concurrent connection limits apply to each plan?
Starter handles up to 1,000 concurrent connections, Business up to 10,000, and Enterprise is unlimited on a dedicated broker instance.
Can I load custom HiveMQ extensions on the managed broker?
Yes, on Business and Enterprise plans. The Extension SDK lets you add authentication plugins, payload transformers, or custom interceptors; we deploy and restart the broker on your behalf.
How do I migrate devices from an existing Mosquitto or EMQX broker to HiveMQ CE?
We replicate your topic ACL rules and persistent session configuration, then coordinate a cutover window. Devices reconnect to the new endpoint with no changes to their publish/subscribe logic.
