Testing Forum?

[pivotraze]

So, I think I read this is allowed, but I want to check before I screw over my license, heh.

I have a forum I may be migrating over to XenForo, and switching my license to the new domain. Before I do this though, I'd like to give the current administrators a way to test the backend, and mess with the changes before we go live. I would like this to happen apart from my current forum. Is this allowed? Where the board is closed to only administrators, but they can test it out? If so, do I just install it as a normal install, or is there some special method?

Yeah, this is allowed as long as it's restricted from the general public.

Awesome I'm getting right on it then!

One more question, actually. I'm starting the transfer now, but the domain name will take a few days to change from our current host. Is it legal to use it in the meantime? I'm issued the domain name http://s429501201.onlinehome.us that we can use it from. Should I place that as the domain name until our real domain name transfers?

Nobody really checks your domain name. However, if you will open a support ticket and your details won't match with your domain and license, then you will have a problem. Just update to your permanent domain when you're done with the transfer.

Ah, alright. Just don't want my license revoked within the first week, heh...
