Looking at the a previous thread ...

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/clients-with-single-site-license-need-to-be-able-to-use-staging-sites/

I see that a manual method for staging is required - no update was provided instead it was closed.

Will Toolset ever consider a Dev license as a free "install"?

I am not an agency - but maintain a variety of sites and came across ToolSet as a viable tool. So I bought the 3 site license - but looking at using ToolSet more.

It should always be the case - when maintaining sites - to have a Dev site - update plugins, test and then update a live site. But with my own 3 site license - that 2nd Dev site either falls away or I need to manually download - this is challenging.

Hi, I can't say whether or not this will be implemented in the future but we will certainly consider every request. The current process to request a new feature like this is to post your comments here: https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/
All submissions are considered by our management team, and the number of similar requests influences which features are added in the future.

In the meantime, manual update of the plugins is required...or you can play "musical chairs" with your 3 license keys to temporarily allow automatic updates in any one environment. While you're working in dev, are you also actively updating plugins in production? Probably not...so you can unregister one of the production sites temporarily (nothing will break, you will just lose the ability to automatically update plugins on that site for a few moments) and use the newly available license to register the dev site. Now you can use the automatic update tool on the dev site to update all the plugins. Once the update is finished, unregister the dev site and re-register the production site. Still not perfect, but arguably less tedious than individual plugin downloads and updates.
