Title: Development and Production License Key
ThreadText: # Development and Production License Key
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2014-07-14)
  
  Is there a specific way I can have a development and live version of a website with Craft Pro running simultaneously.
  
  We have multiple clients, and so using craft.dev for our development is not really feasible.
  
  Can I duplicate the production license over to dev to unlock all features?

  You can buy Craft on a local domain like "client1.dev" when you're building a site. When it's time to go live just *copy* the license.key file (app/config/license.key) to the production server (or vice versa).
  
  You are allowed to use the same license on a public domain and on any number of private local domains like client1.dev. See [How is Craft’s license agreement enforced?](http://buildwithcraft.com/help/license-enforcement) on the Craft docs for more info.
