Use GeoIP Databases Across Multiple Domains or Teams

This guide only applies to customers who are governed by the Online End User License Agreement. You can learn more about who is covered by the Online End User License Agreement. If you purchased a database or web service credit with a custom contract or other offline agreement with MaxMind, the terms and conditions of your use may not be governed by our Online End User License Agreement. In that case, you should consult your contract or agreement for the specific terms and conditions of your agreement with MaxMind to determine how you’re permitted to use GeoIP or minFraud data.

You can use data from GeoIP Databases across multiple websites/domains, and give multiple teams within your business or organization access to the data as long as:

  1. you are using the data in a way that is permitted under the Online End User License Agreement, and
  2. you own, operate, and have sole access to those websites

So, for example, if your company has multiple servers for your business, you could install a GeoIP Database on all of those servers as long as your employees were the only people with access to the data. However, if you are a hosting company, you could not install a GeoIP Database on servers that your customers will have access to.

If you want to display data from one of MaxMind’s products or services to other companies, organizations, or your customers, you will need to see whether that use is permitted under the Online End User License Agreement. This will depend on which products or services you want to use for this purpose:
