licensing requirements

  • We would like to set up perch for three production websites, with six to nine other instances used for development purposes


    How would you recommend that we manage the licensing requirements?


    I attempted to set up Perch in one dev environment, but was blocked due, presumably, to it not being localhost.

  • Thanks for the reply.


    Are these the specific strings in their entirety, or are they sub-strings of the TLD?


    I have the following scenario. How many licences do I need? There are 3 production sites.


    Website 1:

    myTLD.ca -> production build

    staging.myTLD.ca

    development.myTLD.ca


    Website 2:

    mySubDomain.myTLD.ca -> production build

    staging.mySubDomain.myTLD.ca

    development.mySubDomain.myTLD.ca


    Website 3:

    myOtherTLD.ca -> production build

    staging.myOtherTLD.ca

    development.myOtherTLD.ca


    Sandboxes - NO production builds:

    sandbox1.myOtherTLD.net

    sandbox2.myOtherTLD.net

    sandbox3.myOtherTLD.net

  • I think you have misunderstood what a TLD is. In the example above the TLD's you are using are .ca and .net. The local perch keys will not work with this. To use perch with a local key you will need to use one of the TLD's that Drew mentioned above. For example your sandboxes could use;

    sandboxwebsite1.local

    sandboxwebsite2.local


    As for your other three sites that will run in production, they will most likely need a license for each site. Perch lets you set a dev, staging and production environment for each license key
