What is a single website?
A single website is defined as a collection of web pages that serve a single entity. So for instance if you have a subdomain defined as customer.xyz.com and www.xyz.com we would consider this a single web site and you can have any number of subdomains. The only exception to this is if you are hosting a web application or websites where the subdomain is providing customer specific data. This would require a Commercial Multi Website license.
 The Multi Website license entitles you to use Highcharts on an unlimited number of sites you develop for yourself or your customers, at no further charge. For any questions please contact us. To redistribute Highcharts with a commercial software package, please contact us.
