is there anyway to use pc on two different sites

hi, is there anyway to use one productcart database on two different sites?!  We want to create a seperate domain for certain brand names, and I'm just wondering if there's anyway to use the same productcart backend for the other domain, so we can keep all the products and orders in one database, thanks!

One license per store? when we purchased I swear the licensing agreement allowed for use on at least two stores, what am I thinking about - because I know I read something like that.

One could certainly implement some sort of strategy that centered around there being logic in the header/footer files which determines which set of graphics are to be displayed, but some of the sites we design then have very distinctive page-level graphics and color schemes.  If you use stock colors and page layouts, perhaps this would still work for you.

Then there is the point that you want specific brands.  How do you keep the other products from showing?  And how do you want to deal with confirmation e-mails?  It all just becomes a pain.

Mark Shipp of Cogency has done some stuff that allows 2 stores to share inventory.  Why not just bite the bullet, buy a second license, build the second site, and have Mark knit them together with his shared-inventory mod?

Hi, actually if we can change the header and footer, that would be enough - because really... we only need to use the BTO configuration pages for the second site - and all the rest of the links in the main store are in the header/footer, so we can completely change the navigation of the site with just a different header footer, if it can show on all the store/pc/ pages such as configurePrd, viewCart, CheckOut, CustPref etc.  Would that be easy to have two seperate footer and header files for all of these types of pages...

Hi, no - we skip the product details pages, so it always go straight to the BTO config (configurePrd) pages... and we removed the breadcrumb from the bto pages, already.  And, we don't use any other navigation on the site outside of the header and footer.

And I know the customer type would work for changing the header, but it doesn't really fit - because a customer would have to register before even viewing the site.  Any other ideas?!  I'm sure there is a simple way to do this.  We only have a handful for high-ticket products that use the BTO configurator.... we don't need a whole new store - just a way to change the header and footer files of our current store.
