We want to purchase the Pro version of uCommerce but our system is quite vast and has a number of abstractions and services that is built on it. Each of these services support the one www domain but are hosted as wcf services and rtmp awf flash/flex services on different domains. If we were to purchase the Pro version, can it be for the 1 public facing website (and included our other service domain names inclusively - *.domain.aws)? If we were to purchase it for domain.com will that be for all other subdomains? www.domain.com, domain.com, print.domain.com, etc
No problem. The license is not tied to the domain itself, but rahther the IIS site, so you can run it with as many domains as you want. If your services are hosted on separate boxed you'll need a license for each of them in which case Enterprise Edition is a better option as it's cheaper than buying two Pros and you can use it on three separate IIS sites.
Thanks for the response Søren. When we assessed the product comparison we felt that the PRO version was the right one for features listed. When we went to purchase, it asks for a single url that I assumed the PRO license would be associated with. From this, we made a recommendation to the client of the site that a PRO version would suffice. Sub-domain asside (which we could work-around if required), if we had the one url being serviced from a single load balanced cluster (made up of 2 nodes) on a virtual environment for redundancy and high-availablity, does this necessitate an Enterprise license or 2 PRO licenses? It was really difficult for me to find details around this naunce of license restrictions / enforcement. Can you point me to a terms & conditions page specifically for the PRO license? I tried finding on ucommerce.dk, but couldn't find it. If was a bit of surprise to find out that it's licensed in this way.
We haven't done a good job of detailing the differences.
Basically you'll need a key for each IIS site you create regardless of number of servers, e.g. one server running 10 IIS sites requires 10 licenses, two servers running 5 sites each will require the same.
For a load balanced scenario two Pros are needed. You can save a bit on the Pros by going with a single Enterprise as that license type can run on up to three separate IIS sites.
Purchase pro for wild-card domains

Hope this helps and sorry for the confusion.
