    Hi All,
    If I build a website with EE can I sell my website as a product to multiple potential clients. Let’s say I build a website that handles inventory for a specific type of business. Can I effectively sell that same unchanged product (my EE Website with 3rd party addons) to all those businesses or how does it operate? What’s the best way to approach it from a business perspective accepting that I’d have to have the appropriate EE and 3rd party license for each implementation?
    Thanks

    Best to contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) with this questions -  but IMHO as long as you purchase an EE license for each client site you’d be good.

    That’s a good approach for many markets, Ralph123. As Boyink points out, the key is that each site has its own valid purchased license (and appropriate 3rd party licenses too). How you end up accounting for that cost, billing, or selling your services to your clients is entirely up to you. What you cannot do is resell the resulting package as something distributable from your website or similar.
