Photon = external game provider?

Apologies for so many questions, but just getting close to wrapping up our game for Alpha and want to make 100% sure:

I'm not sure if Photon add-on counts as an "external game server". If I use Photon PUN addon, is this an "external game server"? Should this be checked?

Thanks!

No, you only need to tick that box if you'll be hosting actual game servers (in EC2, SoftLayer, RackSpace, etc.) outside our hosting. The Photon Add-on in our marketplace is for Photon Cloud services - specifically, Photon Realtime and Photon Chat, which are not hosted game servers, but rather cloud-hosted virtual rooms that you can use to exchange messages and data between clients (and PUN is effectively the same).
