Hi awesome WiseJ team,
I have a simple question about the maximum application count per license. I’ve developed an application which runs on 1 server and this application needs to be deployed twice on the same server (just a different folder). Does this scenario counts as 2 applications used or as 1? The reason behind this question is simple, I have a application that is used by the same company but uses a different database and some settings are different. The difference is in a settings file that is loaded when the application is run. The application itself is 100% the same. By having two different folders in IIS I can use two IP adresses to seperate the two for each use case.
Because I ported this application from visual basic this approach was a result and I hope this still counts as 1 application used.
Thanks!
Vincent
Hi Vincent,
what you are describing is correct: You can start several instances of an application on a Wisej.NET server. In this case the application is counted as 1.
See the last question in our FAQs here:

Hi Gerhard,
Thanks for the suggestion! This wouldn’t work for me (I think) because I use a DNS record to point to a specific IP which does not support portnumbers. for example Prod.domain.com and QA.domain.com would both have a different IP adress. I also cannot modify the application to just ask which server to connect to at login for example, because im running multiple (same) applications for different clients for QA purposes. The DSN thing solves the seperation and makes it easy but if it comes at the cost of 1 license per instances this would be way to expensive. Perhaps I’ve yet to learn a few new tricks hahah but I hope an application can have infinite instances of the same application without breaking the lisence so long as the connection count doesn’t exceed the limit.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to suggest it, appreciated! I hope WiseJ will give me a bit more clarity on my question/approach.

Hi Vincent,
just use different ports. I use this approach to distinguish between a “Live” and a “Test” mode in a single deployment.
Cheers, Gerhard
