Dev licenses?

Hi,

I like to build sites locally on MAMP, and when ready, I migrate to Live.

I have 1 license for FluentSupport and even though I use a .local domain on my computer, it uses up the license. Is there no "dev/staging" separation allowing us to work how I do it?

Thanks

I use MAMP and .local works for me. I think you can also use any extensions like .local, .test, .localhost and .lab, or subdomains such as staging., dev., development., test. and testing.

David Churchill So you have the 1 license activated on local AND on your live site?

David Churchill

Gerard Godin yes, seems to work okay for my setup - you could always ping a message to Support and double check with them.

David Churchill I must have tried activating a wrong license. I just went through it again and all's good :)

Thanks

David Churchill

Gerard Godin that’s great. MAMP is great for local development. I’ve also started using Docker for convenience.

Our product includes robust support for staging, development, and local testing environments. It automatically detects these non-production sites by checking your site's URL against a comprehensive list of known patterns. This ensures you can test and develop without any issues. Specifically, it checks for:

  1. Common Subdomain Prefixes: It looks for URLs using common development prefixes (e.g., staging.yoursite.com or dev.yoursite.com). This includes patterns like:

staging

stage

dev

test

qa

sandbox

beta

preview

uat (User Acceptance Testing)

development

  1. Common Subfolder Paths: It also detects URLs that contain staging-related subfolders, such as:

/staging/

/stage/

/dev/

/test/

/qa/

/sandbox/

/beta/

/preview/

/uat/

/development/

  1. Known Staging/Local Domains: Finally, it recognizes common local development URLs and staging domains from popular WordPress hosting providers. This list includes:

localhost (Local development)

.wpengine.com

.wpenginepowered.com

.kinsta.cloud

.sg-host.com (SiteGround)

.cloudwaysapps.com

.flywheelsites.com (Flywheel)

.pantheonsite.io (Pantheon)

.dreamhostps.com (DreamHost)

.pressable.site

.staging.wpmudev.host (WPMU DEV)

.liquidweb.cloud

.runcloud.link

.wp1.sh (xCloud)

This comprehensive detection allows you to work freely on your staging or local environment.

Thank you
