Licensing for Non-Profit multiple but same sites

14 years 4 months ago #119072 by colinstewart
Hi

I look after the sites for a non-profit organisation.
They are not a charity but they are all support sites. The subscriptions are purely to cover costs and protect members.

There are several domains under the same banner but all are almost identical. (There are a couple still in Joomla 1.0 but being updated to 1.5 in the next couple of weeks).

For example, there is/will be:-
gaydads.co.uk
gaydads.eu
gaydads.us
gaydads.asia
gaymums.org.uk

There is/will also be sub-domains such as:-
wives.of.gaydads.co.uk
husbands.of.gaymums.org.uk
children.of.gay.....


Each has a different membership but the sites are all the same. All will be running the same version of Joomla and Community Builder and other add-ons.

Plus development/test sites.
Each site will not have large members. The main site that is up and running has only a couple of hundred members. The others have only a handful at the moment (less than 50).

However, with your current pricing policy, needing a minimum of 8 licences, the cost quoted on your site too expensive.

Is there any other pricing options?
A licence that covers all domains but is renewable yearly would be more affordable.

Thanks

The pricing we offer is rather set in stone; from general public opinion this is the pricing model we fell into. Regardless of domain consider it a per installation basis.

If you have 2 entirely separate sites then this will require 2 licenses but if you have 1 site, but 4 domains (3 being aliases) then this will require 1 license.

If the following domains all point to the same installation then this will require only 1 license:
.co.uk
.eu
.us
.asia
.org.uk

However, once you add a sub domain and it's a separate installation such as wives.of. then this will require an additional license. From what I can gather you'll need approx. 4 licenses.
