vB v4 Licencing for Test* and Production Instances?
 

Hi there!

I am planning on migrating a website over from Joomla+phpBB3 to vBulletin* so I can integrate the site and forum. I'm yet to acquire a vBulletin licence.

I'd like to know whether I would require one licence or two* given the methodology I follow for this website* using a Test/Development site running off a local VM* and a production site available to the Internet.

I do all of my installation/configuration/test and development within a VM on my local PC. This allows me to make mistakes* do imports* upgrades etc* without touching the production environment.

When I'm ready to roll out the changes to production* I make the changes necessary to the prod environment from the test system.

Looking through the licencing for vBulletin* I'm not sure whether I need one or two licences for this. The test/dev environment is only available to myself* and uses a localhost URL etc - there's only going to be one instance in production.

I appreciate any advice.

Cheers*
