Migration process from Perch to Perch runway with existing live system?

Apologies if this is covered in another post, I looked but couldn't find anything.

I manage a single site that has been running Perch for a couple of years (www.tolmers.org.uk) after moving away from Joomla (best decision I ever made!).

I'm looking to migrate to Runway, but as part of a site redesign. So I want to keep the existing site running as-is, but develop the redesign on Runway.

If I cross-grade my standard perch license to a perch runway developer license until I've got it all working, will this violate the license conditions for the existing site?

Many thanks Chris

Yes, it would. The best route would be to apply the upgrade to Runway - this fixes your existing Perch 2 license at the current domain settings and generates you a new Runway 2 license key to develop (and eventually go live) with.

This will keep your live site running on Perch 2 and enable you to develop with Runway.

Great, thanks Drew.
