WordPress Multisite

Subfolder Networks#

Subfolder network can use 1 plugin license per network.

Plugin must be activated network wide and license should be activated at primary website:

Subfolder network

Subdomain Networks#

Each subdomain site counts as one site on a license. A license covers as many sites as you pick, from 1 to 100, so a 5-site license covers five subdomain sites and each extra site costs less. Choose the number on the pricing page.

Why a license activation on a multisite network isn’t considered as a single activation?

Multisite networks are way more complex than standard WordPress installations, have significantly more edge cases, and a higher chance for conflicts as subsites in the network can run different combinations of plugins and themes.

Also, multisite-networks are largely used by bigger entities like agencies, boutique hosting providers, and WaaS, who generate revenue from their networks and put a higher load on the realtime servers.

Consequently, it’s only fair to charge them more for protecting each WPMU website instance.
