Hi,
I’m developing a multi-language website, where I want to have a single EE installation on one of the domains (.com), and then point the other domains (.dk/.se/.no/etc) to this installation much like is described here.
First of all, will this be possible. Are there any caveat’s when using domains instead of the subdirectory method described in the url?
Second, would I need one license pr domain, or only one for the whole installation?

Hi there aelvan,
Will all of your country code domains be redirecting back to the main domain? If that’s the case, then you would only need 1 license. Do you have any other questions I can answer for you?
Cheers,

Well, not redirect in the sense that if you go to mydomain.se, you will be redirected to mydomain.com and browse the site from there. If you go to mydomain.se/news you will see the news section in swedish, and if you view it in mydomain.com/news you will see them in english. But both domains will use only one installation of EE, and achieve this through the index.php file and .htaccess.
Does this still only need 1 license?

Ordinarily I’d recommend you use the MSM to accomplish this, but there are other unsupported ways of accomplishing this. Does that help?
