Thanks a lot! Weird as it may sound, the Alerts just went away without doing nothing.

<p>I just deployed a site (still under work) on a <code>sandbox</code> subdomain (<a href="https://sandbox.site-name.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://sandbox.site-name.org/</a>) and I am getting license problems alerts.

<p>The complaining plugins are <code>verbb\comments</code> and <code>craft\commerce</code>. Is this normal? Should I worry? How can I get rid of those alerts?</p>

# License alerts in sandbox site

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-10-31)

I just deployed a site (still under work) on a `sandbox` subdomain (<https://sandbox.site-name.org/>) and I am getting license problems alerts. Also, the site is user/password protected (Apache basic auth, htpasswd).

The complaining plugins are `verbb\comments` and `craft\commerce`. Is this normal? Should I worry? How can I get rid of those alerts?

According to "[How License Enforcement Works](https://craftcms.com/knowledge-base/how-craft-license-enforcement-works#how-do-we-determine-craft-is-running-on-a-public-domain)" a subdomain with 'sandbox' should work fine without Craft complaining about your license.

> 4. Does it have a dev-sounding subdomain (e.g. ‘craftdemo’, ‘dev’, ‘local’, ‘loc’, ‘qa’, ‘test’, ‘testing’, ‘sandbox’, ‘stage’, ‘staging’, ‘uat’, ‘acc’ or ‘acceptance’)?
