Domain
The license of this software is domain based i.e. it will only work on a valid domain name or website address that resolves over internet or intranet. It will not work on IP address or localhost.
The domain field in this section indicates the licensed domain you have registered while ordering the license.
There are certain restrictions like If you ordered license with domain name yourcompany.com you will be able to install the license on yourcompany.com/anyfolder, but you will not be able to install the license on support.yourcompany.com (because subdomain is treated as separate domain)
With Satellite helpdesk and Service desk you can add multiple domains and multiple customer portals. Help desk license has a single domain the one which is registered with the product.
Note: The main domain cannot be deleted or disabled. And when you delete the add-on domains then it will delete all the departments, Incidents and clients under that domain.
