1. Do you use sub-domains or sub-folders for MS sites?
2. How many sites are you planning to support? (a rough number 1-10, 10+, 100+, 1000+)
3. Who creates sites, administrator by request or customer/automated script?

5. What type of business do you have and how it relates to your customers?

How does licensing work?

Cusmin is a subscription-based product, licensed on a yearly basis. By default, licence includes 1 year of Cusmin service access, Cusmin support and updates. When your license expires, all applied settings on your site(s) will still be preserved and it will not affect how you use your site(s). We highly recommend keeping the subscription active in order to keep Cusmin up-to-date with the latest WordPress releases, make additional changes to the Cusmin settings and the have access to the Cusmin support.

What happens if I don't extend my license?

All your customizations will still be preserved except:

1. You will not be able to change/update customizations
2. You will not be able to update Cusmin to newer versions
3. You will not have access to Cusmin customer support

How many sites Cusmin supports?

We have different packages that support different number of sites. The term "site" is actually a unique domain where your site is installed. If your package gives you 5 sites allowance, you can install the plugin on 5 different domains.

Can I use Cusmin on a sub-domain?

Yes. You can even install Cusmin on multiple sub-domains with just one site license. Cusmin sites are licensed per-domain, so you can install Cusmin on your root domain and any of your sub-domains, as well. The only requirement is that all of your sites are on the same domain.

If you want to install Cusmin on additional domain, you would need a Cusmin license that supports multiple sites.

Can I test Cusmin on my DEV environment before launching to production?

Basically, if you want to install it on your dev environment to test it first, you would need a license that supports multiple sites. However, you have a few alternative options:

1. Use sub-domains: Since Cusmin is licensed per-domain, not per-sub-domain, you can install it on a multiple sub-domains on your main domain with a single site license. That means that you can create your site for testing e.g. test.example.com or dev.example.com while you still keep your main domain example.com for production.
2. Set your domain in hosts file: Configure your local environment to use your production domain in hosts file on your machine. When you navigate to your production domain in browser e.g. example.com, the site from your local environment will be loaded instead of production site.
3. Contact us: If you don't have any other options to test your site, you can install it on your test domain and contact us once you want to migrate your site from the test environment to your production environment, and we will do this for you.
