Free Developer Licenses

While the free public beta is still available, anyone can evaluate LemonStand without incurring any costs. However, we had to address this issue for once the beta is over as well. The fact is, developers need to test LemonStand without needing to buy a license.

We Love Developers

We came up with a simple plan to solve this challenge. Soon after version 1.0 is released, we'll allow developers to fill out an application in order to receive a developers license. This license will let you install LemonStand on a test environment. Your installation won't be time limited. Instead, it will be limited in other ways (TBD), such as # of products, orders, users, etc.

No Encoding

We won't be encoding any of the files that you'll need access to. Except a few associated with the limitations, you'll be able to have free reign on your LemonStand test environment.

Your Hard Work Won't Go to Waste

As always, you will even be able to upgrade your developers installation of LemonStand to a full version by purchasing a license. After doing so, you can simply run an update and your copy will be "unlocked". Great for turning an evaluation copy into a live website. This is similar to how you can currently upgrade your beta license to a commercial version by pre-order, or ordering once version 1.0 is released.
