License Key Usage Across Environments – Duende IdentityServer 7 #249
-
| Hi, We have integrated Duende IdentityServer 7 with our .NET 8 application, and it has been deployed in the production environment with a valid license key. However, we’re encountering the threshold limit in our testing and staging environments, as they currently don’t have a license key. I came across this discussion (https://github.com/orgs/DuendeSoftware/discussions/115#discussioncomment-12562549), which suggests that the same production key can be used in other environments as well. I just wanted to confirm: Production: auth.test.com Staging: stagingauth.test.com Will this cause any issues, or is it okay to use the same production key for staging? |

| Hi @Anandan-Gunasekaran! The threshold is indeed not yet enforced in any way, and will just write log entries for now. You can choose to have staging run in trial mode, or use your production key in both environments (which is allowed for non-production usage). It's a good idea to use the production license in staging as well, as this will mean your validation environment is closer to your production instance. |
