Would I need one or more licences?

Hi,

If I were to use dolphin several times in sub-folders on one single domain name. IE: dolphin1.NAME.com, dolphin2.NAME.com etc...

Would I need to buy a different licence for each installation?

Thanks

PS, does the unbranding of Boonex also extend to the AC panel?

more than 1. Each installation would require its own license.

Thanks for your reply.

Maybe Boonex should make this a little clearer on their licence terms? Placing several installations within one domain name is still under the one domain name umbrella..

That is not classified as subfolders, it's subdomains.

Subdomain examples.

dolphin1.yourdomain.com

dolphin2.yourdomain.com

dolphin3.yourdomain.com

dolphin4.yourdomain.com

Sub Folder examples.

yourdomain.com/dolphin1

yourdomain.com/dolphin2

yourdomain.com/dolphin3

yourdomain.com/dolphin4


1 Dolphin licence will work with more than one copy installed and accessed as sub folders, but not as sub domains.

 Thanks Deano, you are right! I got my subs mixed up!!

So just to clarify: Several uses of Dolphin in sub-folders of the same domain name will only require one licence?

Thanks

Correct. If they are also accessed that way as part of the url. The moment you point that folder to a subdomain and access it as a subdomain on the url, then it will require a separate licence.

interesting... so you could have 1 licensed installation, setup sub folders all under the same license each with a different installation and different admin access

then set  up domain forwarding to each one as if it was a standalone domain... effectively just using 1 license yet with all the control of several different domains...

Its not really several different domains is it? Its just one domain with several sub-folders. The licence covers one doamin name, it mentions nothing about using it several times under that one domain name?

I have not used domain forwarding, so i don't know how it works. But it should work as long as dolphin only sees and is setup on its single domain.

They need to clarify the sub domain use.

For example. Something as simple as this will affect the licence

http://yourdomain.com
http://www.yourdomain.com

Just the addition of the www will get treated as separate. The licencing system looks at the FQDN dolphin is running in. So every subdomain prefix is treated separately. But because dolphin only looks at the FQDN. Running in URLS such as this are the same because dolphin ignores the rest of the url.

http://www.yourdomain.com/dolphin1
http://www.yourdomain.com/dolphin2
http://www.yourdomain.com/dolphin3

All have the same FQDN so only need once licence.

Thanks for clearing that up Deano. Although I doubt Boonex would be happy if I bought the professional insallation package, and told them to stick it in 100 subfolders!! ha ha
