Purchasing license...

[frm]

I'm purchasing a new license so that I can go live (currently new forum behind basic auth as granted by @Chris D seen here:

Current License for New Forum

Is it possible to use a current license that I have on a new domain name that has basic auth for me to build out the nodes/style and then purchase the same license for that domain when I want to make it live? Thanks :)

However, I am currently running 2.2 Beta 4 for the new instance on a pre-existing license that has brand removal, which I will not be purchasing.

Will I need to update any files, as I recall doing so when I added XF, or will XF recognize this and add it back immediately?

You will need to manually upload the files from the new license, overwriting what is already on the server.

Will this flag files as being modified? And to get rid of this notice, would I attempt a reinstall?

I just don't want to lose custom styling/nodes made already.

It won't affect anything.

It will just update the files on the server to match the license, which will remove any notices related to the license and ensure one click upgrades can be performed.

Ensure you use the upgrade package for the same version you are currently running.

So don't overwrite everything, just the upgrade package?

Uploading the 'upgrade' files only and then 'checking for upgrades' got rid of the notice and placed the copyright in the footer.

Thanks!
