Self Hosting

If we are already self hosting BT Server 2.1.6 do we need to do anything as self hosting is a separate subscription and is higher than the developer account we have been upgraded to?

I think the actual API KEY charges. That is different than the website account. The way I take it, a lot of people use the web, so that is the way the site is setup. The Server setup was geared more around the API usage, and the charges for that stuff. I could be wrong, but the way I understand it.

I'll be writing more about this later and posting a more detailed description of our thoughts. For existing users, it's not a worry, just some clarifications. API keys that were provided before will continue to work, no biggie, you won't be charged for these. There are some extreme cases where API keys will exceed their monthly limits but we'll handle those individually as they arise. Just like before: self hosted is free to download and experiment with, use the code, spin your own solution, whatever you want. API Keys will begin costing new users. Without an API key the self hosted package won't use our backend for packaging apps.

Thank you! I look forward to your fuller response as well. I love the site, the tool and certainly want to ensure you are monetized as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Hi guys. I am up with BT server. Need API to test. Not able to pay the monthly subscription as I am more of a hobbyist. A limited api will do. Can anyone help? Thank you.
