    Default 2 Stores, same domain? Dev/Prod

    Hi,

    will we have issues if we have a production store in one directory like this:
    www.mydomain.com/mystore

    and then a dev store in another directory like this:
    www.mydomain.com/mydevstore

    With different databases of course...

    Will there be a licensing issue, or any other issue for that matter?

    Can I add a third store, without a problem? (yes to check if the new development will affect a copy of production in an adverse way).

    Thanks

    There's not going to be a problem from the software's point of view, but you're really defeating a lot of the reasons to have separate dev/staging installs if you do it that way. A lot of changes you might make to the dev site could still end up affecting the live site (for example if you were playing with an upgrade that required a .NET version change). Keeping the apps in separate app pools will cut down on that a little, but really you ought to have these on separate machines.
