Q: I own a license and activated it on my production server, but now I want to set up a dev machine / additional test sites. How do I go about making this work? Do I have to buy additional license?
A: Even though your license only validates on the URL / machine registered in our database, as a license holder, you can set up as many test sites / development machines as you want. You can download
this trial license key (you need to be
logged in and have valid
License holder user group membership) and use it on your dev machine / test site.
To use the trial license key, simply download it from the link above and put it in your ~/upfiles/ folder. If you are on version 3.9 or later, you will "import" the license file from your AdminCP->Software Activation after you put the license file inside ~/upfiles/.
Each time you download this Trial key, it gives you
one full year of free usage, and you can download as many times as you want to.
So no, you do not have to buy additional licenses unless you want a permanent test site with no time restriction and Trial notice at the bottom.
