Multisite License VS. Unlimited?

[wiscweb]

With an Unlimited License, I get this from the license key page:

Thank you! You have enabled a valid license. It looks like you are using this license within a multisite network. If you have 11 or more subsites, want network-level management, and/or require automatic updates, you need to upgrade to a multisite license. Read more about license options.

Why might I need to also purchase a multisite license if we have an unlimited license?

Hey Travis,

Thanks for reaching out.

To be clear, you would not need to have both a Multisite License and an Unlimited License. They serve different purposes, and based on your needs, a Multisite License may be more appropriate.

The details of the Multisite License are covered here ? https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/multisite-license/

In line with what the warning message on your License Keys page states, you need a Multisite License to “Network Activate” a plugin, individually activate the plugin on 11 or more sub-sites, or do automatic updates on any number of sub-sites.

So:
• If you want to “Network Activate” a plugin, individually activate the plugin on 11 or more sub-sites, or do automatic updates on any number of sub-sites, you would NOT need an Unlimited License and would only need a Multisite License.

• If you want to individually activate the plugin on many sub-sites of a network, or many sub-sites on different networks, or some sites on a network and other sites that are non Multisite sites, then you would need a Unlimited License. Now, given our license system’s current limitations, you may see the sort of Multisite notice you currently see in the License Keys page, but this can be ignored (we’re working on improving the handling of this messaging!).

• You would not need both licenses, and if you decide that a Multisite License is sufficient for your needs, you can request a refund of your Unlimited License here ? https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/refund-policy/

Let me know if this is helpful!

Cheers,
George

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
