Hi

I’m confused over what license best suits me. My needs are simple…

I’m a designer and have just won a contract to supply a business scheme owner with websites for most if not all of his members.

I need 1 template, for commercial use, which will be copied across lots of similar companies in the same vertical market. Starting (obviously) with just 1 company, but extending to possibly 50+ over 18-24 months.

Which license is the best value for money?

Thanks

Hi Dumblond,

Best for you is the one year Developer Membership, then you can have as many templates as you like on as many domains as you like for 1 year.

Kind Regards,
Peter

Thanks Peter.

What happens to the websites that I’ve already finished after the one year is up? They are going to be maintained by each individual company once I’ve completed the initial design, and I *probably* won’t have to touch them after that (but I might have to maintain some, I just don’t know at the moment).

Cheers

That is no problem. You can register the websites, wich you did with the JA-template(s), during your membership and they will be in the list of JoomlArt and linked to your membership. This is how Joomlart knows it is not an illegal template. 😉 So they can keep the website with the JA template as long as they want..

Kind Regards,
Peter

Thanks for the reply. My understanding then is that the a license allows you to register web addresses against the license, which allows certain templates and number of templates to be used without expiry depending on the type of license (ie. developer licence is “all you can register” commercial websites in a one year period, and those licenses are then perpetual).

One final question then… is there a smaller version of the developer license? It seems that for a designer it’s all or nothing. What if I was asked to design just 1 site for a business, or maybe my project only ends up with 3 companies wanting websites? $500 is far too steep to pay under those circumstances, so is there an alternative, and is it upgradable later?

Thanks for your continuing help.

Well, you can always start with a standard membership for 3 months (1 domain) or 6 months (2 domains) or 1 year (3 domains). The rules are the same.

You talked about 50+ websites, that is why I adviced the developer-membership.

Kind Regards,
Peter

So the “developer” tag is a bit of a misnomer then… relating more to the fact that developers will want to develop lots of sites, rather than the usage (ie. commercial rather than personal)?

The way I read the various licenses, it seemed that if I’m developing for a commercial entity (1 or hundreds), I have to have a developer license, but if I wanted to do a website for my collection of bottle tops (not really:)) then I could use one of the standard licenses.

I think I’m getting it now!
