Does one license cover many subdomains?

Hello

An existing client of mine wants me to create a new website with 6 sub-domains. Each sub-domain will have a form which captures user input. At first, I thought I would need 7 Perch installs and licenses for this; 1 for the site and 6 for the sub-domains. Is this the correct way of thinking? I just want to make sure there isn't a nifty way of having one install that can cover a site and many sub-domains.

License costs isn't the issue by the way, I'd already factored those in to my price!

Thanks, Michael

Think of needing a license for each distinct set of pages. You can only have one /index.php for example. So if

domain.com/index.php

and

sub.domain.com/index.php

both point to the same install of Perch, they'd both be loading the same page as far as Perch sees it.

Ah yes, that makes perfect sense. Thanks Drew..
