SOLVED Staging license?

[SRQ_civicrm]

With the forced transition to a Linux distro other that CentOS, I'd like to first test in a staging VM. Is there a way to get a free license, akin to a developer license, but for staging? The developer license application insists you must be "developing an application that will integrate with cPanel® products" which sounds different from what I'm wanting to do.

Just send a request to cPanel customer support (can be done via the ticket system) about a development license. You can also normally get a 15 day trial license for new servers.

If you don't automatically get the 15-day trial on a new server, just let our Customer Service team know ([email protected]) and we can help!

Quoting the response from customer service, which I found very helpful:

Development licenses are available for the purposes below:
- Internal Development
- Testing cPanel/WHM EDGE releases
- Developing applications that integrate with cPanel (whether publicly available or not)
- Testing environment changes prior to pushing them live
