EPiServer Community licenses in Enterprise solutions
Met a customer today. They are using EPiServer CMS and EPiServer Community on their sites. The sites all share a common code-base, they have an EPiServer Enterprise license and all the sites are in one common web.config. I.e it looks something like this:
<sites>
<site description="Example Site"
siteId="unknown">
<siteHosts>
<add name="*" />
<add name="localhost" />
</siteHosts>
<siteSettings ... />
</site>
<site description="Example Site 2"
siteId="unknown2">
<siteHosts>
<add name="localhost2" />
</siteHosts>
<siteSettings ... />
</site>
</sites>
But we couldn't figure out how to add the licenses for EPiServer Community. Eventually we got some help from the EPiServer guys, and they told the secret is to change the name on the license file from:
NetstarLicense.xml
To the name:
NetstarLicense[IIS instance id].xml
So an example would be:
NetstarLicense123456.xml
