I’m trying to bring up a second site so that we can do some plugin/bot development against a non-production site, and the strangest thing keeps happening.
I get the second site _enrolled_ as a starter site, and then my main production site goes unregistered, and effects our production work.
Both sites are registered under my email address.
Is it possible to have to live sites operating at the same time on the same network without clobbering each other?
Thank you!

I’ll ask but I think that it’s likely the “multi site” scenario is for ‘partners’.
I think for the rest it is one address, one server. Effectively what I do myself, but had never tried under one login. Just used different addresses for different servers.
I’ll try and let you know.

Its important that when/if you clone production that you say yes to it being a new workspace.
What happens here is if you don’t and say its the same workspace you basically have two workspaces trying to claim the same license. Which will end up screwing up your production workspace.
So you need to make sure that both workspaces end up set up as two distinct workspaces. If your dev workspace will have less users you likely can use the Starter license. But they do need to be two completely separate registered workspaces.
