   * The software is optimized for working on a single domain name.  Any links in e-mails, for example, will be using the domain name you have configured in the settings in the admin panel of your software.  That same setting is also used for various links generated by the software, for instance when it is generating the sub-domain links for Geographic Navigation addon.  When the user clicks on such a link, since the domain name would change, if they are currently logged in it will cause them to log out.  It will also not look good to the end user if some parts of your site appear to be under one domain and other parts use another domain name.   * The software is optimized for working on a single domain name.  Any links in e-mails, for example, will be using the domain name you have configured in the settings in the admin panel of your software.  That same setting is also used for various links generated by the software, for instance when it is generating the sub-domain links for Geographic Navigation addon.  When the user clicks on such a link, since the domain name would change, if they are currently logged in it will cause them to log out.  It will also not look good to the end user if some parts of your site appear to be under one domain and other parts use another domain name.
   * No software license changes are needed if you use re-directs to point all alternate domains to your main domain.  If there are multiple domains but only a single installation, upon request we can add those alternate domains to your license, but we **strongly** advise against doing this for the other reasons noted above.  If you still wish to add domain aliases to your license instead of setting up re-directs, contact [email protected] to request alternates added to your domain name.  Remember the alternates must all use a single installation, if you wish to run multiple installations of the software you will need to purchase a license for each installation.   * No software license changes are needed if you use re-directs to point all alternate domains to your main domain.  If there are multiple domains but only a single installation, upon request we can add those alternate domains to your license, but we **strongly** advise against doing this for the other reasons noted above.  If you still wish to add domain aliases to your license instead of setting up re-directs, contact [email protected] to request alternates added to your domain name.  Remember the alternates must all use a single installation, if you wish to run multiple installations of the software you will need to purchase a license for each installation.
