It's also great, obviously, for managing backups of your site after it's on the live server. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/need-to-test-then-deploy-so-which-license-how#post-18193 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 12:46:42 +0000 noirnet 18193@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Carl -</p> <p>Thanks for the reply. The test site will need to be accessed by me and a rep. from the client, but that's it. Once everything's approved, it will just be moved to their live server. Is that okay?</p> <p>Thanks for mentioning the very cool option of GF's import/export feature. I didn't really realize that was an option. The whole site may indeed need to be moved to an entirely different server, and being a bit ignorant of WordPress makes me happy to hear that I can use something like BackupBuddy. Thanks for the tip!</p> <p>Your soon-to-be-customer,</p> <p>- noirnet </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/need-to-test-then-deploy-so-which-license-how#post-18065 Wed, 09 Feb 2011 13:59:26 +0000 Carl Hancock 18065@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You can use the Single Site License on a test/development site and on the live site. That is permitted as long as the test/development site isn't being used as a production site with active users/visitors. </p> <p>As far as development on a test/dev site and then moving it to a live site? That is up to you. If you are moving the entire site you can use a plugin like BackupBuddy (<a href="http://www.pluginbuddy.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.pluginbuddy.com</a>) to move the entire site.</p> <p>If you are creating a new form on the dev site and then moving it to the live site you can use the Gravity Forms import/export functionality to export the form and then import it into the live site. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/need-to-test-then-deploy-so-which-license-how#post-18033 Wed, 09 Feb 2011 01:32:34 +0000 noirnet 18033@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Okay, so I have a client that we're developing a site for. We've got it sandboxed on one of our own servers. If I buy the single license of Gravity Forms to test, I think that I'll need to buy at least the 5 site license to deploy another copy of Gravity Forms when the client wants us to take their site live. Is that correct?</p> <p>Now the harder part: Let's say I create all these nifty GF's on our test server for the client, and they like it. How to I save all the customization work and move it to their live server?</p> <p>Thanks in advance,</p> <p>- noirnet </p>
