Topic: Licence - Define 1 person 1 project a bit more please?

davidgreen free asked 5 years ago


Hi, First, thank you for your fabulous MDB project, it has been SO useful!

Second, how do you define 1 person, 1 project for your licence please?

For my project, I am building a single web app, but where customers access their own customised view of the app via different URL's. So we may have https://customer1.webappname.com, https://customer2.webappname.com etc, but equally, if they want it, it could be webappname.customer1.com if they want that.

All of these urls point to a single live server and one set of code for the live site (though there is a second staging server and a third for development coding).

Since it is all one project, even though it is spread about, which licence applies please?

Many thanks

David

Hi David,

subdomains do not argue with our license and you can use them for 1 project license. As you have rightly noticed, for a friendly format as well as for the last case you described, you would have to use an unlimited project license to create these projects.

I hope I answered your doubts. If not, let me know.

Best regards, Mateusz

Hi Mateusz,

Many thanks for your quick answer. I am continuing the question, as I'm I'm sure that some other customers will be in a similar situation and may find the answer useful too. A "project" and a "domain" are not always the same thing...

One option I am hoping for is to allow my customers to use a their own subdomain mapped on to my single app/server. The product is for schools, where teachers are usually not comfortable with technology, so they may find it easier to use "webapp.school-name.com", rather than "school-name.webapp.com".

So do you mean that if all my customers only use the format "schoolname.webapp.com", which means a single top level domain name, then we can use the single project licence? But if I allow the friendly format of "webapp.school-name.com", this then requires the unlimited projects licence?

And having a live site of webapp.com and a development site of somethingelse.org will also require the unlimited licence? Even though this is still all one project, with one lot of server code, but possibly several domains?

Many thanks, David

Dear @davidgreen,

Thank you, David. We appreciate it! :)

We define the project as a domain. This means that if you use 1 project license to build this application on different URLs with a customized client view, it will not violate our license.

Best regards, Mateusz
