license: Ultimate/Trial-->Free?
I just installed the Free edition locally to test as well as to school myself. It has been over a year since I worked with Kentico CMS. After completing the local install, I was going to enter the Free edition license key but saw that "Ultimate" (Trial) was good for thirty days.
Do my license options include running it as Ultimate and changing it after 29 days to the Free license? Can I run them both simultaneously? I understand the differences in each, thanks to the grids that spell them out. But I thought as long as I was learning/playing around, I might check into some of the features that are not inc. w/ Free.

I am a small DB consulting firm and my intent, after evaluation and learning, is to be able to provide web design services to customers, likely using Kentico as the program.

Thanks for your consideration,
Tom

RE:license: Ultimate/Trial-->Free?
Hello.

Yes, it is possible to run your site on Ultimate license for 30 days and then simply delete expired Unlimited license and use Free license instead. You can also run 2 sites at the same time, one of Ultimate license and one of Free license, however these licenses must be for a different domain names.

When develop some web site on Ultimate license first and then switch to Free, please make sure that you do not over-cross license limitations, if you have some functionality / feature on your Ultimate site, which is not supported in Free edition. Thank you.
