Author Topic: Licensing question... (Read 1773 times)

I am currently a licensed user of LMP (for my own personal web site). I have been for several years. The small company I work for has a need for the software as well, so I am setting up a separate hosting environment for them, as well as 2 domains, which I'll get into in a moment.

Obviously, I am not going to use my licensed version for the company; we will purchase a new package for $195. The owner of the company has two separate 'divisions' within our organization, because each sells to a different type of customer (one sells to end users, the other to resellers) and to those customers, we are seen as two separate companies.

The question is this... I will have one company server, but two domains, each with their own CGI-BIN and PERL environments. Am I allowed to use / will it work if I use the same LMP install files on both of those domains, as long as they're on the same server. Said another way, is the licensing for LMP per company, per user or per site?

NOTE: I've set it up before and understand that I'll have to install and configure everything twice if I plan to use 2 CGI-BINs, but I also want to ensure that Dean doesn't stop by my place with a baseball bat if it's not technically legal. I also don't want to spend $400 if $200 will suffice.

Here's the canned answer:

At this time we allow you to install the program on more than one of your own web sites. Of course, if another company or administrator will be using the program we expect you to refer them to us. If/when we implement site licensing we will compensate current owners generously with up to 5 licenses.

So yes, your company can use LMP on more than one of their sites with one license.

Please let me know if you have any more questions!

Regards

Dean - I completely understand and appreciate your very fast response. What made this tricky is that while it is technically a different "company" (because it has it's own D+B number and pays taxes separately) it's still the same owner, the same administrator (me), same staff, etc. It will also be separate URLs/domains, but on the same server. So, I just wasn't sure how you'd feel about it. Anyway, thanks!

Not sure if I fully understand the ramifications for my scenario, but I bought a licence a while back for one web site and I'm now starting a second site. So I'd like to know what I can and what I can't do.

Can I use my licence to install on the new site?

If not, can I use the existing installation served from server 1 and collect list entries from the second site?

It's likely that the two sites will eventually reside on the same server, but for time reasons, the original site is staying on its own server while we set up the new site on a newer and much more powerful server.

Any help with this would be gratefully received.

Not a problem
