In DNN EVOQ, there is a 100 character limit for the copyright text that can be added to the footer of the site from Admin Panel > Site Settings > Site Info:

There may be certain situations where this limit needs to be increased (e.g. if you are using HTML to add a hyperlink to the copyright text.)

Requirements: SQL Server access, DNN admin access.
