Franco,

Yes, I approve your temporary use of an additional application for testing DF4WP and, thanks for jumping in and working with it!

Let me also take this opportunity to make sure that everyone understands the flexibilities we've extended for testing applications running on DataFlex WebApp Server. In 2014, we defined the server provided with DataFlex Studio license as a "Testing Server" so it could be used in a variety of real-world, pre-production testing scenarios. Below is an excerpt of the eNews article published at the time:

New entitlements available for DataFlex WebApp Server testing use

In response to customer requests for more flexible licensing to test DataFlex web applications, we are pleased to announce a change to the terms of the Software License Agreement (SLA). The section of the agreement that defines DataFlex WebApp Server testing use has been modified as follows:


  • The server included with the DataFlex Studio license is now called the DataFlex WebApp Testing Server
  • Solely for testing use, developers with a Studio license are entitled to install the Testing Server on an application tester accessible Server Instance (physical server or virtual machine)
  • The number of application testers that access the Testing Server is not restricted
  • Production use of the Testing Server is prohibited


The above is an informal summary. As always, the current SLA defines the precise entitlements, terms, conditions and use of the DataFlex WebApp Testing Server.

The language specific to the use of the Testing Server is in the second paragraph of section 1.1 of the Software License Agreement.
