I am a little bit confused about the nomenclature of installations/websites, especially regarding subfolders.
To be sure about pricing and using Kirby as an example; using Kirby 3 to create
would cost 99€, but adding the forum-subdomain would add an additional 99€, right?
Relevant pieces of information I found:
‘A license is valid for a single Kirby installation, running on a single domain. If you plan to add additional installations (i.e. under additional subdomains or subfolders) you need to purchase licenses for each of those installations.’
‘A “Website” is a single Kirby project that is defined by its domain name and root directory (e.g. https://sub.example.com or https://example.com/example/ ). Each (sub)domain and root directory is a separate Website, even if the projects are related in any way. If the same Kirby multi-language installation spans multiple domains, these domains count as the same Website.’
PS: I am still quite new to web development and try to err on the side of caution regarding licensing
if both subdomains point to different Kirby installations, they are two websites that need 2 licenses.
If you have a main domain and a subdomain that point to the same installation (the same web root or the same subfolder in the webroot) and both are part of the same website as in
Sorry to dig out this older topic, but I have an additional question here, since you used the subdomain example - what about X different TLD’s one Kirby instance (multilanguage not multi-site)?
@marcus-at-localhost If you have a multi-language installation where the languages use different domains, then this is a single Kirby setup that needs one license.
