Can a demo license be used in production environments?
The demo license only permits users to test and evaluate the software on a local server. Use of the demo license in a production environment is prohibited. The demo license may be used for testing and development purposes.
Is a license required for staging and/or developers?
Yes, all uses of Telligent's software require a license in order to function. For development or staging environments, we recommend working with the Telligent Sales team to determine the appropriate number of licenses necessary.
