Development and the 30 day trial limit

I was wondering if there's a 'right-way' to develop custom add-ons/widgets etc that didn't require to either activate a trial license or be stuck with the community edition.

The community edition allows me to install a 'free' installation which could be used as a technical installation to build custom widgets and stuff on. But if I wanted to develop with the multilingual support or the 'form-builder' module (or 'product' in the future) I would require a 'standard' edition.

Is there something as a 'developer edition' which has the technical functionality of a standard edition, page limits or localhost limitation wouldn't be a problem of course since its only an installation to develop on top of...

Or does you require me to purchase a 'standard' license to be able to have a continues internal development installation ?

Hello Jochem,

Thank you for raising this question, it's really important. We have included this question and its answer on our Marketplace FAQ - all publishers who have at least one published marketplace listing will receive not-for-resale (NFR) licenses for the Sitefinity Small Business Edition, Sitefinity Standard Edition, and Sitefinity Professional Edition. Those NFR licenses can only be used for development of Sitefinity add-ons for the Marketplace.

I hope this information is helpful, Jochem! If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to get back to us at your convenience!

Kind regards,
Grisha 'Greg' Karanikolov
