Licensing for sites hosted on Pantheon

[William]

We’re hosting our sites on pantheon and it’s causing problems with licensing.

The URLs that show up on our license keys page are the dynamic server names, not the real host names. We’re unable to control when and how these names may change and we don’t have a way of tying them back to a real host.

They have this article that describes how to use the http host rather than servername.
https://pantheon.io/docs/articles/sites/code/server_name-and-server_port/

We purchased 3 licenses but we only have 2 live sites that are using the plugin. We have lots of development environments that may have eaten one of the licenses.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can try to help out here.

I have not run into this issue before.

First the license key is only needed for automatic updates. The plugins will function without a license key.

From that documentation you provide it looks like adding this to the wp-config.php file could resolve the issue:

$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

Have you tried that?

Let me know and we can go from here.

Thanks

I also found this from another tutorial and adding this instead of the above snippet to the wp-config.php file might work:

// For non-www domains, remove leading www
$site_server = preg_replace( '#^www\.#', '', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] );

// You're on your own for the yes-www version <span class="wp-smiley wp-emoji wp-emoji-smile" title=":-)">:-)</span>

// Set URLs
define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://'. $site_server );
define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://'. $site_server );

This is the guide I found it from.
