Before deploying the Software, you must register in the XenForo.com customer area the address (URL) at which You will use the License. This URL must be kept up-to-date. You may create additional test installations for the purpose of testing the Software. Any test installation of this kind must be password protected, installed at a URL that makes the testing purpose clear, not used for production purposes and access to it must be limited to You and Your website staff.

@Brogan
I installed on developers site but get this error below

my site is www.mydomain.com/
dev site was installed on
dev.mydomain.com/

The following issues should be resolved. Once they have been resolved, check for upgrades again to confirm.

• The Board URL option does not match the site URL configured for your license.

will this just show like this all the time because its a dev site ?

just wondering if that will give me any issues with testing, modifications to colors etc., or maybe even trying to create a template or an addon for my self?

over all just want to make sure I did it correctly and that is just what it's going to show cause it is just a dev site ?

thanks

Yes, that's normal. Continue and ignore it, as a message. That's it

It will always be shown, if installed on another site, different from that of the license.

It won't give you any problem.

XF 2.1 - The Board URL option does not match the site URL configured for your license.

When I go to my admin panel I see this message. The Board URL option does not match the site URL configured for your license. I am pretty sure that the Board URL option and the URL configured to my license are the same, I double checked just in case. I know this question has been asked before...

You also can skip using subdomain and just reference directory, like mydomain.com/testdirectory/ instead testdirectory.mydomain.com (of course, you could use different names for directory and subdomain.

In this case you don't have problems with "incorrect domain".
