Note: If you are looking to use the theme on a staging domain, please make sure that it’s a staging domain (localhost or local address, staging IP, Subdomain of the same final domain or staging subdomain of an online hosting provider).
Please note that installing the theme on a live domain (for example: mydomain.com) is not considered as staging domain and the license domain can’t be migrated later to a different domain since it was used and attributed to that final live domain.
