‘Nother question - would monetising a site with Adsense or other ads require a Professional license? What if the money went to charity?

cheers,

Hi, Smithy,

Two simple questions can help you determine what type of license you need.

1. Is the primary purpose of the site to make money?

2. Is the purpose of the site to support a legal business or professional service in any way?

If you answer yes to either of the above then you need a Commercial license.

So, for example, a non-profit taking donations, a personal site selling a t-shirt with the domain on it, etc… are all personal licenses. But a “brochure” style site about a business that doesn’t sell anything or display ads would still require a Commercial license since it supports a business.

If you’re still unsure, give me a few more details of the project and I’ll be happy to help you figure it out. =)

Sorry Lisa - I know you’ve had to post that quite a few times! I’ll email sales and describe it in more detail.

thanks,
smithy.

No worries, Smithy.  I hate to re-post the same stuff, but without any project details, it’s hard to generalize answer.  Will keep an eye out for your email to sales.  Thank you!
