Having watched numerous videos about the up-coming Elements I am quite impressed but I am a little confused which version I will need.  
I only manage 4 sites. Can I use the Plus version for this or am I forced to go to the Pro?  
Thanks

Hi @martef86,

A Pro license is only required for users that want to develop and sell websites to third-party clients, making it the ideal choice for freelancers and agencies — Most users will probably only need the Plus license. If you’re not charging money for the websites you’re building/managing then you can use the Base or Plus version.

More information on this can be found under [License Types in the Manual](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/elements-app/license-types).

Hope that helps!

Thanks. I had read the link before I posted. So if I get paid for any website work, I need the Pro version but if I am doing it without payment the Plus will be fine.
