There are no limitations on the Sierra Chart side regarding any of this.

All of this is fine with Sierra Chart.

Check the Window >> Message Log for errors related to creating a window, or memory allocation errors. Both of these are related to the operating system.

We do know that Windows will have trouble when a lot of windows are open.

The solution to your problem is to use sub instances and distribute the Chartbooks among sub instances:
Using DTC Server for Data and Trading in Another Sierra Chart Instance

Actually another solution is to enable this option:
General Settings Window: Destroy Chart Windows when Hidden (Global Settings >> General Settings >> GUI >> Application GUI)

There is a limit in Sierra Chart to open no more than 64 Chartbooks on startup but this does not mean you cannot have more Chartbooks open than that. This just relates to what can be automatically opened at once.
