Hey guys, not sure if anyone has realized, but for SaaS projects the Extended version of the theme is required. So $1000 is what he should have paid for the admin panel... I hope no one involved with ThemeForest finds out :)

Can anyone elaborate on this? From the regular license description: The main thing you cannot do is offer the item up for resale either on its own or as part of a project. So you can use the item in a free game, but not in a game that is on sale. You can use the item in a website, but not in a web template that you sell. Here are the full legal terms: http://themeforest.net/wiki/support/legal-terms/licensing-terms/ http://themeforest.net/wiki/support/legal-terms/licensing-te... Specifically, I wonder if you are referring to this line: (d) Unless you have our prior written consent, you must not directly or indirectly license, sub-license, sell or resell or provide for free the Work or offer to do any of these things. All of these things are referred to as Resale. (g) You must not incorporate the Work in a work which is created for Resale by you or your client. I wonder what they mean by "indirectly selling" the Work. Does this apply to SaaS? What about Freemium products?

  Taken from http://wiki.envato.com/buying/licenses-buying/themeforest-regular-and-extended-license-usage-examples/ http://wiki.envato.com/buying/licenses-buying/themeforest-re... Regular License Examples - The Regular License could be used for any of the following: Single website (commercial, personal, or non-profit). Single website for a client (commercial, personal, or non-profit). Single intranet site project. Extended License Examples - The Extended License could be used for any of the following: Template for a web service such as WPMU. Part of a software package for sale. To me that reads like in this case, the Regular license would be fine. The extended license seems more about situations where your customers will be creating their own unique and publicly accessible content using the template (You start up a blogging service www.omgblogs.com and someone could create their blog at mahblog.omgblogs.com then pick from a template you got from ThemeForest)

I see nothing indicating that he needs an Extended license. He is doing this: The regular license allows you to use an item within a project of your own or on behalf of a client. For example, you could use an item purchased under a regular license in a >>website<<, a presentation, a promotional video, a poster or a free game. For web content a regular license is suitable for use on a >>single domain<< or single subdomain or single directory. For most buyers the regular license is sufficient. And not this: This [extended] license is more expensive than the regular license. An extended license lets you use an item in something that will be sold. For example, you could use an item purchased under an extended license in a DVD release for sale, in a game for sale, in a web template for sale, or on a t-shirt or poster for sale. An extended license is also appropriate for people looking to offer a web template to many users such as on multiple domains, subdomains or sub directories.

Further evidence why hiring a real designer is better and can be cheaper than buying a pre-baked theme.
