CommunityServer, the web software I use for this blog and for my family website, has release a new version. I’m using it at work for some new community features on a few our websites and I really like it so far. Last week, I actually discovered a new bug they hadn’t seen with HTTP Compression and IE6 and found the fix for it. They created a new Knowledge Base article on it, which I thought was kind of cool.
Anyway, the problem is that the licensing has changed and is kind of weird now. It’s still free for personal sites, but I don’t see a way with the new licensing to run both of my personal sites from one database like I’m doing right now. It looks like it only allows for one site per database now and I don’t have an extra database to use. That’s the whole reason I setup these two sites like that.
Oh well, I guess I need to post on their forums and see if there’s a way to make it work. I know the commercial licenses we have at work are being grandfathered in (this is good because the limitations in the new licensing made me not too happy) so maybe they’ll do something similar for the personal version. Otherwise, I’m going to have to find some other way to handle it.
