Using one license for Live / Production, Staging, Dev and Localhost sites
You can use one license for Live / Production, Staging, Dev, and Localhost Sites if your domain name is clearly a dev or staging site. The system automatically recognizes specific domains and subdomain conventions as staging or dev environments. Here is the list:
TLDs that are considered as dev or staging:
*.dev*.dev.cc(DesktopServer)*.test*.local*.staging*.example*.invalid
Subdomains that are considered as dev or staging:
local.*dev.*test.*stage.*staging.*stagingN.*(SiteGround;Nis an unsigned int)*.myftpupload.com(GoDaddy)*.cloudwaysapps.com(Cloudways)*.wpsandbox.pro(WPSandbox)*.ngrok.io(tunneling)*.mystagingwebsite.com(Pressable)*.tempurl.host(WPMU DEV)*.wpmudev.host(WPMU DEV)*.websitepro-staging.com(Vendasta)*.websitepro.hosting(Vendasta)*.instawp.xyz(InstaWP)*.wpengine.com(WP Engine)*.wpenginepowered.com(WP Engine)dev-*.pantheonsite.io(Pantheon)test-*.pantheonsite.io(Pantheon)staging-*.kinsta.com(Kinsta)staging-*.kinsta.cloud(Kinsta)*-dev.10web.site(10Web)*-dev.10web.cloud(10Web)
If the domain is set to localhost (with any port), it is recognized as a localhost domain.
If your dev or staging site doesn’t fit the criteria listed above, contact us and we’ll mark your domain or subdomain as staging.
Multisite network license utilization
Each subsite in a multisite setup requires a license activation. For example, if a user with a 10-subsite network would like to activate a license for their entire network, they’ll need to purchase a license that can be activated on at least 10 sites or multiple licenses whose combined activations limit is 10 or more.
Multilingual license utilization
Plugins such as WPML, Polylang, and others allow different domains or subdomains to be linked to the translations. Regardless of whether you use a different domain or subdomain for each language, the number of languages doesn’t affect the license limits.
