Licensing a ’Test’ database

In the Open Standard

We have a central database for our P3e use and want to create a copy for ’scenario testing’.

This is physically easy to do - but does it need seperate licensing ?

Does anyone do this already - can you use the same license file for this.

I get conflicting views from different people I speak to.

    you can use the same licens(if this DB for testing only and in the same company ) but not legal to use the same licens for another company or for another work

    I agree with Said. We’ve just installed P5 and I had IT install the supplied database with tutorial data and an empty database without it.
    We have only one licence but two users and could access both databases at the same time.
    This would NOT be legitimate licence usage, but I don’t feel it’s a problem using one for development of ideas and one for real planning.

    Official view from Primavera is that the seperate database needs a seperate license - you can only copy the database for backup purposes
