I am assuming that you have set up the application locally and wanted to deploy it on the production server.

You can follow these steps:
1- Take a backup of your local dev install
2- Restore it on the production server
3- Copy the Website folder of the local application and move it to the production server
4- Update the connection string in App_Data/database.config (Make sure to decrypt the database connection string before moving to production server)

If you have CMS changes in your dev local application you may need to sync the dev with the live Gold database.

Following are the instructions in this case:

1- Close the store so that no new activity takes place on the live store
2- Take the backup of the LIVE database and restore it on a local development machine or dev server
3- Use the Redgate SQL Data compare tool and sync both the DEV database and the one restored in step2 (LIVE copy)
4- Since the LIVE database copy contains all the latest data (users, orders, etc.), therefore, it is best to merge the data from the DEV database to the LIVE copy. Mostly there are CMS-related updates that are required to be merged.
5- Once the databases are synced, take the final backup of the database, restore to the production server and update your database connection string to use this latest backup

All the files under the Website folder can be deployed to the production server.

You can also use the visual studio publish project feature to deploy the required application files.

What we recommend is to use a Live license that includes both the production domain and the IP/dev site domain. That way the key will work in both installations.

One thing to keep in mind is that the key is bound to the physical location of the website. So, the key may need to be re-installed if you move the /app_data/Commercebuilder.lic file to the production server. But, if you get a new key with both live/dev domains, then you can install the SAME key in both locations.

Hope that makes sense.
