    I have a few questions about purchasing a license that I couldn’t find in the FAQ. If they are there and I missed them, feel free to just provide a link instead of typing a response.

    1. If I buy a license, am I allowed to use my copy as many times as I want? Can I build multiple sites with it that may or may not be for me?

    2. If I build a site for a non-profit organization, are there any legal issues/contingencies with how they use it since I purchased the license? (I hope that makes sense.)

    Might have more later. I feel like there were 2 more, but can’t think of them right now.

    Hi, charlieholder,

    1. It is a license per installation.  That is stated in the license agreement.

    2.  Nope, you can use the non-profit license if that is appropriate for the site being built.

    If you think of more, we’ll be right here to answer. =)

    Let me quote from our license:

    One license grants the right to perform one installation of the Software. Each additional installation of the Software requires an additional purchased license.

    As to your second question, a Personal License may only be used on a website engaging in personal, non-commercial, or non-profit activities.

    Does that clear the issue up for you?

    I assume a personal portfolio site being used to attract business and/or potential employers would be classed as a commercial website?

    Cheers

    That is correct, Brendan.
