Hi Larry
At this time, we haven’t resolved the WPEngine domain name issue. However, with our license, you would still be covered for support. It really means for now, updates on staging would be manual and the license on staging wouldn’t register. However, if it’s active on the live site, it should be suitable.
Would this work for you? If not, you could rework the domain name to use any of the supported TLDs. I have proposed a feature request that we include the major hosts for staging that don’t use the normal TLD protocol.
Let me know how you make out.
Thanks,
Courtney 🙂
