EasyEstimates Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How many Activities can be defined in EasyEstimates?

There is no limit.

Do I need to install a new database for each Activity?

No.

Why would I want to install more than one database?

You may want separate databases because specific people are only allowed to update specific Activities. Permissions are granted to all Activities within a database.

You may also want a separate database for development and testing activities.

The license agreement specifies only one domain, can I install it on other domains for testing or backup?

Yes, a license is needed for each domain that is accessible to your customers. Additional copies of EasyEstimates can be installed for development, testing, and backup purposes as long as they are not accessible by customers.

I want to host EasyEstimates for several of my clients. Do I need a separate license for each client?

A separate license is needed for each domain, like www.sizzlingwebdesign.com, where EasyEstimates is available. If EasyEstimates appears as part of a domain, regardless of whether it is physically located on that domain's servers, a license is required.

If sub-domains or parked domains are used, a separate license is not required for each sub-domain. Add-on domains do require a separate EasyEstimates license.

Definitions

Sub-domain - defined as having a URL that has the same domain name and type as the primary domain but a different first part. For example, test.sizzlingwebdesign.com could be a sub-domain of sizzlingwebdesign.com.

Parked domain - a domain name that points to another domain but has no web pages associated with it. For example, easyestimates.com can be "parked" on sizzlingwebdesign.com so that if a Web user enters easyestimates.com they see the sizzlingwebdesign.com Web site. There is no separate Web site for easyestimates.com.

Add-on domain - the domain's files are attached another Web site but the add-on domain appears as a separate Web site to Internet Users. For example, sizzlingwebdesign.com's Web pages could be stored in a sub-directory of sizzlingvideo.com but sizzlingwebdesign.com appears as an independent Web site to Internet Users.
