Do I Need a License Key if I Need to Use my BuddyBoss Theme on my Staging Site?

If you need to test or try a recent update from the Buddyboss Theme and BuddyBoss Platform Pro before you put it live on your website, you can install the theme and plugin under any of the following domain keywords without the need for entering a license key: 

.test

.dev

staging.

localhost

.local

If your staging or development environment domain name contains any of the allowed keywords, you can try and test the new updates of your BuddyBoss Theme and BuddyBoss Platform Pro without having to purchase another license key for it. For example:

online-communities.test.net

my.example.dev.com

test-sites.dev.online-communities.net/

example.test.domain-name.com

localhost/mybuddybosswebsite/

staging.example.domain-name.net

.local/buddyboss/

buddybossthemesite.local/my-sample-website/

If in any case, you do not have these keywords on the domain name of your staging site, the license key is required to use the BuddyBoss Theme.
