I have read the documentation for Product validation but I still can’t a question.

I have used a valid licence for one my sites hosted LIVE!

I would like to try and see if the theme is good enough or can do things for a new site I am developing.

I am running a WebMatrix and running as wordpress website in localhost.

Is it OK for me to install the theme there and use the activation key from my live site to test out the features of the theme? Once I am happy that X can do things that I want the site to do, I can purchase another copy of the theme and make the new website LIVE in Production environment.

I hope this makes sense.

Hi,

Yes, you can create a development site under your Account > Manage Licences

See screenshot – http://screencast.com/t/3RrG4XeW

Using Development Environments

When a site is assigned to a license, you will see the ability to add a Development Environment. Technically speaking, this works exactly the same as production validation to ensure predictability between environments. They can be assigned and un-assigned in the same manor as production sites, described above.

Development environments require that a production environment URL already be assigned. Revoking the production site will also remove the development site.

It’s important to note this does not change Envato’s license terms, and you will still need a license for each production site. We do have ways of monitoring for abuse, and if licenses are used outside of this it would be a violation of their terms of use and ours.

Hope that helps

Thanks for clarifying this Paul. This makes is so much easier now and hopefully another licence in the pipeline.
