Licenses on the ThemeForest and CodeCanyon Market sites

As you know, the licences on WordPress themes such as Avada and WordPress plugins sold on the ThemeForest and CodeCanyon Market sites are for a single site use. However, it may be confusing when determing how many license you use in certain situations.

Here is the answer from Envato Market in December, 2017:

All of our licenses on the ThemeForest and CodeCanyon Market sites are for a single use. If you desire to use the item/template on multiple sites, then one or both of the following situations may apply:

1: If the item is used on one domain, and/or multiple subdomains, one license will suffice. For example:

www.domain.com/siteOne
siteTwo.domain.com/
site.Three.domain.com/

2: However, if you are going to use the item on multiple domains, you will need to purchase a license for each domain. For example:

www.domain-siteOne.com/
www.domain-site.two.com/
www.site-three-domain.com/

In general, with multi-site installations that are mapped to subdomains, a single license is fine because technically it's still only one installation and one entity. However, you'll need multiple licenses to use a multi-site installation with domain mapping because those would be technically different sites, and hence, different end products

As you see, you need only one license for multi-site installations that are mapped to subdomains. However, you will need multiple licnese to use a multi-site installion with domain mapping.

For your reference, you can use Elegant Themes' themes including Divi on unlimited sites for the licensed period (one year or lifetime) depending on plans.
