Hello tagDiv Support Team,
I hope you are doing well.
I currently have a live website running on a custom PHP (CodeIgniter) system:
👉 hbtvnews.com
Now, I am planning to migrate my website to WordPress using the Newspaper theme, which I have already purchased.
Before migrating the live site, I want to set up a staging/development environment (for example: staging.hbtvnews.com or a temporary domain provided by my hosting) so that I can:
* Set up the theme
* Import prebuilt demos
* Migrate and test all my existing data (around 18,000+ news posts)
* Finalize design and structure
However, I am facing an issue where the prebuilt websites and tagDiv Cloud Library are not accessible without activating the license key on the staging/temporary domain.
I would like clarification on the following:
1. Can I activate the same license on a staging or temporary domain for development purposes?
2. After completing development, can I deactivate the license from the staging domain and reactivate it on my live domain (hbtvnews.com)?
3. Does the Newspaper theme officially support staging environments without affecting the main license usage?
4. What is the recommended workflow to set up and test prebuilt demos before going live?
My goal is to safely complete the migration and testing process without affecting my live website and without violating license policies.
I would really appreciate your guidance on the best and recommended approach.
Thank you for your support.
Best regards,
Prakash Chauhan
Hello,
Normally, a license key is for 1 website. Please check the ThemeForest license specifications here – https://themeforest.net/licenses/standard – https://themeforest.net/licenses/terms/regular -> https://prnt.sc/X0AldIM7e7ni
We allow the key to be used on 2 websites at the same time because we consider that most website owners require a testing website besides the live website, and the theme must be activated there as well.
So, yes, you can activate the license key on staging and later you can activate it on live, and it will work on both without problems.
Thank you!
