No. You *cant* get seperate keys for them#. The key issuing system ignores the dot. In this regard its no different to the same key working for one.domain.com and two.domain.com # I didnt check before posting the previous bug report. >The API developers > don't have a choice here.

(or what every your search domain is) or as a fqdn (which happens to omit the final dot) > but not the other way around. > So, if I register a key for forum.nu it is no surprise that it will > not work for forum.nu. (with trailing dot). Agreed its not a complete surprise, but you should be at least be able to register a key for the fqdn in that case. > > -- > Marcelo - http://maps.forum.nu > -- > > > > > > > > > -- Barry - www.nearby.org.uk - www.geograph.org.uk - --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
