web sites, sub-domains, sand boxes

[Dave Osborne]

We are migrating to WordPress and looking at Events Calendar Pro (ECP). The question is which license level do we need?
LoneOakFBC.Org is the primary site/domain and will have an instance of ECP installed there.
Students.LoneOakFBC.Org is a sub-domain with a separate WordPress instance installed and will likely have to have its own instance of ECP unless there is some way to cross link between the subdomain (sub-folder) and main domain (main site folder).
We will also maintain a development sandbox domain “beta.loneoakfbc.org” for proofing and approvals before moving to the main domain.
So will Personal ECP suffice (1 “site”) or do we need Business ECP (3 sites)?
Another post said that I can install an instance on my in office development server (non-domain) without a license. Please confirm.
Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the interest in our plugins.

The license if for automatic updates in your site and is not needed for the plugins to work.

So generally you add the license where you want to make the automatic updates. We have this guide on using the license on a live and dev site:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-one-license-for-your-live-and-dev-sites/

As for the amount of license keys you should purchase based on the number of live sites and not include staging, dev, or sandbox sites in that number.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks
