It's just one copy of WebCatalog running, but when people hit your https side, everything gets shunted through SSL. We do this on our main site, and it works quite well because the maintenance for both SSL and non-SSL is automatic.As for getting multiple licenses of WebCatalog, the _real_ issue here is that you want more than one database on your site. There are two good answers that solve your problem: one is a workaround, and the other is the real solution.Workaround: Set aside an integer field in your single catalog.txt file that represents which pseudo-database the record belongs to. Make separate search templates for each of your databases that contain hidden fields that require the integer field to be #1, #2, #3, etc. (to keep your site clean, remember that template files can be inside folders, you just need to specify a relative path to them like $search&template=:customer1folder:search.html)record #1: int1 = 1 (means your customer #1) text5 = whatever info they want to storerecord #2: int1 = 1 (again, customer #1's record) text5 = whateverrecord #3: int1 = 2 (means your customer #2) text5 = customer2's data for the text5 fieldSearchPage1: (customer #1's own unique search page)
