Community Edition Licensing - Recommendation 
Modified By AliCommerce  on 5/28/2008 5:24:48 AM)

Situation:

When the Community Edition is downloaded, it's initially accessible only using using Localhost as the Hostname domain. This works fine if the Test Website is on the local machine, but can create problematic issues if testing is on a remote machine. Although it's possible to re-direct "localhost" using Hosts or local DNS, in my case I'm also crossing a Proxy Firewall which itself is re-directing web requests to different machines and webservers based on the hostname. Creating and flipping configurations just for testing and back to their original settings on 3 places (client, firewall and website) multiple times is very inconveinent.

Request:

1. Would like to suggest that all Community Edition downloads automatically include a license that supports at least another Hostname than "localhost." I'm recommending something like "localhost-10" but can be almost anything that's not likely already used. This at least allows the special hostname to be configured and can be left alone afterwards instead of repeatedly creating and undoing configurations.

2. Alternative solution might be to embed by default a restriction for 25 products which can be modified only with an issued license. If there is little or no reason to track free storefronts, this should eliminate "housekeeping" for such deployments.

Re: Community Edition Licensing - Recommendation 

Hi,

I'm having the same problem. I downloaded the module last month, but have not been able to use it because it keeps giving me: "Warning! You haven't installed a valid license for this domain! " I don't know how to create and flip configurations so the module is of no use to me right now. I maybe wrong, but it seems like the module was created to be installed on the local machine first. That is how the module enforce specific product count. Once I populate the product section with 25 products, I can  upload the module to run remotely, but if I need to modify the products, I will need to download it first. Am I understanding this correctly?

If that is the case, I will not be able to run the community version because I can only run it remotely from my computer. I don't mind purchasing the standard version, but I am unconfortable purchasing without testing it first. It would be nice if the code was modified using your request or another form of product control. Hopefully they will find a solution soon, but in the meantime, I guess I'll keep looking.

It needs a license key when running from portal alias other than localhost. This is clearly stated in readme doc.
