Hello,
a license is tied to a single domain. Does that include the port or am I free to use whatever port(s) I want for that one application?
For example, if I use port 80 for HTTP and port 443 for HTTPS, does one license suffice or would that be considered as two applications, thus requiring two licenses? Or what about multiple instances (e.g. for load balancing) of one application on the same domain, but with different ports (9000, 9001, etc.)?
Best regards, Matthias

Hello Matthias,
Thank you for reaching out.
It is true that the license keys are tied to the specific domain. Under "domain" we imply everything between http:// or https:// and the first slash. For example, we issue the key for myapp.example.com, and it will work for https://myapp.example.com:8080/analytics.aspx?year=2020
In other words, protocols and ports do not matter.
As long as the domain name is myapp.example.com, the license key will work.
Let me know if the provided information was helpful.
Best regards,

Hello Yuliia,
Tanks for your answer. I'm confused however. You say a domain for you is everything between http:// or https:// and the first slash. But for the example that would be "myapp.example.com:8080", which would include the port. But then you say the port does not matter, so it is excluded. To me that is a contradiction. Can you help clarify this?
Best regards, Matthias

Matthias,
I understand the confusion. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Let's say that everything after the hostname example.com will not prevent you from using the license key issued for the domain myapp.example.com. So, this license key will work for myapp.example.com:8080.
Also, there would be no difference whether the protocol is http:// or https://.
I hope this makes sense to you. Feel free to ask additional questions, if any.
Best regards,
Yuliia
