Creating a second license key for development site

Hi there,

I see in this document (https://eventespresso.com/wiki/understanding-your-account/) under item #10 it indicates that we should not use a paid license key on a site that’s in development. Instead, we should work with support to activate a second (temporary?) license key on the account. What’s the best way to do this? It’s just for the purpose of setting up the features of our Business License and add-ons before the site launches. At that point we can switch to our actual purchased license?

Thank you!

Hi Nancy,

You do not need an additional support license for your development server.

The license is used for 1 Click Updates and support, so you can install Event Espresso on your development server without the key, then when you install on live, assign the key there.

You’ll then just need to manually update EE on the dev server when we release updates.

Hi Tony,

Thanks for that — I’ve begun to download the Add-ons available from my Account page and add them to my EE3 installation (I expected them to appear only when the plugin’s support license was installed).

However, I also need to set up some additional payment methods in EE — and I’m prompted to upgrade before I can use more than just PayPal. I assume this, then, is tied to the Support License? How can I get around this so I’m fully set up when the site launches?

Thanks!

Hi Nancy,

You may have the lite version of Event Espresso 3 (EE3 lite) activated. Please deactivate it and download and install the premium version of EE3 through WordPress plugins:

Let us know if this helps.

Hi Lorenzo,

Ha — THAT would be ridiculous. Ahem. 🙂

That fixed it — thank you!
