Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I would like to use GeoIP on xyz.com, xyz.ca, and xyz.biz. Do I need more than one site license?

Q: We are a hosting provider and have a license to one of your GeoIP databases. Can we install it on the different servers that we provide to our hosting clients?

Q: I would like to use the GeoIP data to power a web log/analytics tool that I provide to my clients. Is this allowed with just one site license?

Q: I would like to setup a website where my clients can enter an IP address and get the GeoIP information back. From reading the license agreement, it seems that this would not be allowed. However, I have seen other sites do this. How can I do this too?
