[SalesForce] How many flows (visual workflow) and process builder can be created in professional edition

I looking for a documentation about wheter is it possible to create flows in professional edition or not and if it's possible how many flows are the limit?

According what I found, it is only available in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.salesforce_vpm_guide.meta/salesforce_vpm_guide/vpm_admin_flow_limits.htm). But, I have a professional instance and I can create flows:

Probably I'm confused in terminology,

Moreover, I've read there is a limit of 5 active process builder, but in my professional instance I can create more than that.

In the forum: Is Process Builder available in Professional Edition? , someone concluded that it looks like since Spring 17, professional has the same limits of process builder as enterprise, Unlimited edition. Can someone help me clarifing this please?

According to Salesforce Features and Edition Limits and other related documentation, release notes (like in Winter ’16 Release Notes on Visual Workflow enhancements) they are:

Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

Even Workflows can only be enabled for additional fee:

As a partner, workflows within your application run in a Professional Edition org. However, customers can’t create their own workflows. They must purchase the feature directly from Salesforce.

Many features in Salesforce can be a contractual limitations - menus are available in setup, however you are not allowed to use them according to your contract terms.
