I’ve just set up Strapi for the client I’m currently working for. They opted for the enterprise version and it’s all setup and working fine.
Now, they also have in-house developers, and I’m also going to continue working for them for a while so I’m having a local development environment and then there’s also a staging and a dev server for testing in a more production like environment. How does it work with the license now?
Can I use the same license in all those non-production environments to have the exact same code base running everywhere or will I hit “you’re using your key on several instances and it’s been disabled”?
I’m slightly concerned at having differences live and in development, but I doubt they’ll want to pay for a license for every developer who might tweak the models and hooks.
Hi @jmo yes sunnyson is correct here our licenses are limited by project, for a single project there is no limit on the number of environments. I would advise caution on who you give the license to however, if you have any private licensing questions you are always welcome to email us at support@strapi.io also.
Great, it wasn’t obvious to me and I failed to find resources explaining that. I decided to rather err on the cautious side than risk having the production environment display a message “your license is being used elsewhere and you’re downgraded” and than having to chase after each place where someone might have spun up a dev image for some local testing.
Much nicer being able to have the same code running in all the environments.
Yup we know that a team of devs on a single project could be one or a thousand and Strapi being self-hosted it doesn’t make sense for us to limit environments.
