License transfer form a subdomain development to main domain

Hi @unganayim ,

Thanks for your patience while we worked towards your request. It depends on how this is connected.

When it comes to subdomains, the context in which how these subdomains are being used needs to be considered to determine whether a single license applies. If all the subdomains are designed to organize your content within one main site we consider that use as a single end product (thus requiring a single license). For example: your main domain is fruits.com, and the subdomains are apple.fruits.com and orange.fruits.com, the subdomains relate to the main site and are used to organize the content of your main site into subdomains (even though the subdomains require multiple installations which can have individual personalities), the subdomains are still related to the same subject of the main site and therefore a single end product.

In cases where each subdomain has no relation to each other or the main site and are about different things, then we consider these subdomains different end products regardless of the implementation (single installation). In this case you would need a separate license for each subdomain. For example, your main domain is fruits.com which is about the health benefits of eating fruit, and you have a subdomain which is buy.fruits.com which is about buying 3D models of fruit, you will need a separate license for each.

In the case of multisite installations that are mapped to subdomains, a single license is fine because technically it’s still only one installation and one entity. However, you’ll need multiple licenses to use a multisite installation with domain mapping because those would be technically different sites, and hence, different end products.

All-in-all, you need to consider how you are using the theme to determine whether a single license is enough, or multiple licenses are required.

Please let me know if I can provide any further assistance or clarification.

Kind Regards,
