On my website, I have a domain and sub-domain for Staging i.e. pre-production. I would only be seriously using the CMS for real production use on the main domain. So swapping the CMS from the staging sub-domain to the main domain wouldn’t work as I would need it on the Staging domain for testing. Maybe allow for one sub-domain with the Studio license and increase the cost if more than one sub-domain? ---

Sorry for the silly question, but I haven’t been following this topic much and would like to understand better… is the “CMS Online Editor” already available, at least the free one? Is the “CMS Online Editor” a series of components you have to purchase, or how does it work? ---

Sorry if this question has already been resolved… If your website needs two CMS Blogs (one being a traditional blog and the second a portfolio), would the best solution be the “Solo”? ---

> [@MikeB](#): > > If your website needs two CMS Blogs (one being a traditional blog and the second a portfolio), would the best solution be the “Solo”? Exactly, you’d have one CMS online editor install, and just add both content folders to the admin area. ![CleanShot 2026-05-20 at 2 .16.07@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/a/0/a03067a67732bf28624f7d26140f676a03a994f1.png) You’ll be able to try it out shortly 😉 ---

So you have to buy Studio if you want to use the CMS on a single sub-domain as well as on your main domain? ---

Yes. Unfortunately, you have to buy a **STUDIO license** to use ECMS on subdomains as well. I bought the **SINGLE license** and would have liked to test ECMS 2.0 on my preview subdomain beforehand. That way, I could have discovered earlier that ECMS 2.0 is not yet usable for the live version. Instead, I only noticed this after going live and now have to perform a rollback. Maybe something will still change regarding subdomains for the Single license in the future. That would be nice. ---

Yes, just to confirm, the Studio license allows you to have unlimited sub domains. Here’s a breakdown of the features for each version: ![CleanShot 2026-05-20 at 8 .24.38@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/e/8/e8125319c63e30aeffc4df2e5ebf654fa6011bcc.png) If you’d like to switch to the Studio version just let us know and we can issue a refund on your Solo purchase. The Studio license is definitely the one to go for, especially as it has the [MCP support that is mind-blowingly good](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy_hvVQ6a38) 🤯 [Previous page](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/elements-cms-online-editor-pricing-announcement/56143.md?page=1)
