Develop on open source version, then upgrade to pro?
Hi All
Just a quick question, I'm currently starting on a new Umbraco project. At present it is undecided if the open soucre or pro version will be used.
To date, I've always used the open source version, and wanted to check if it's better to develop on the correct version, or is a staright forwarded enough process to update to the pro version at a later date. Possibly when moving from the staging to production server?
As far as I'm aware the open and pro editions are one and the same - with pro you get support from the core team and some extra handy tools that could come in useful for deployment/migration.
Definitly, suppose I just wanted to make sure before starting the install process. It was just the ability to reskin and the commerical license options, that I thought you maybe supplied with a different set of files.

As of version 4.5, all of umbraco (including the backend) is MIT licensed so the backend can be reskinned without a pro license.
I'd still recommend one though, especially if your client can absorb the cost.
Hi Dan
Didn't know that you could reskin 4.5 without the need for a pro license. Very useful.
Thanks again
