I am looking at purchasing the software in the coming days, i would appreciate if somebody could answer a licensing question i have.

 

I am currently running my forums locally on my server, static IP, this is purely for testing purposes, once i purchase the software it is keyed to either a domain name or a server right?

 

Once i move my forums to my domain name (probably a few months away) will i need to have you generate another key for me?

Currently

Server is my machine

 

Eventually

http://forums.mydomain.com (example)

Server will be the hosting companies machine.

 

Both the domain name and the server will change eventually so if i get it keyed to either it will stop working when i go public.
Once i go public, i will no longer require the locally hosted license.

 

One more thing, seing as we are so close to a version 2 release, should i wait till then to purchase or will i be covered for the upgrade?

 

Thanks in advance

 
You can use the software on any machine via http://localhost/ for development purposes. However if the web server is accessed using another hostname (i.e. it is a shared server) then you need to buy a copy for it. This means each of your development servers and test servers must have its own license.

 

In your situation, I think you can contact us ([email protected] ) and apply for a temp license which allow you run the software on any server and it will expire in a few days.

It's a free upgrade. The version 1.x license file will work for the version 2.0 as well.
 
Hope it helps.
 
Let me know if you have any further questions.
