vBulletin License?

Published by: cfz 2009-01-07

ok so i dont own a vbulletin license but my friend does, but the thing is, i look after his site because he doesnt have much time on his hands. I use the ftp and the admincp, the only problem is i cannot download any mods for the site because i am not the person that owns the license, i have tried asking my friend to sign up etc but he's away on vacation and can do nothing whilst away from his computer. i know his webmaster email but not the password. i was just wondering if there is a way i can use mods whilst he's away?

I guess you'll have to be content with training them in very general terms, with regards to installing forom-software, perhaps by using a free alternative or the admin-demo for the actual installation. As I understand the license, there's no way for you to be able to share the actual files your license covers.

No, you cannot share copies of vBulletin with others. That would be a violation of the license agreement.

Steve, does this allow them to download a copy of the Lic. software?
You didn't Answer the above part of the question.
No, you cannot share copies of vBulletin with others. That would be a violation of the license agreement.Then how do I acheive my purpose of training people. Are you say that a trusted admin/webmaster of my site has no way of legally uploading vbulletin code to the site and installing it. Even though I am a legal lic. holder.

Steve, does this allow them to download a copy of the Lic. software? We are in the midst of training new people and one of the training task will be to install the Software from scratch.

If this doesn't give them ability, then am I allowed to store a copy somewhere where they can download it?

Nope. He would have to add your email address to the Priority Support Form here:

The license agreement allows you to set up one test board:

"If you have a valid license, you may set up an additional test forum in order to test code, template and database modifications. To make this clear to us and our license verification procedures, place it in a directory called 'testvb' and be sure to password protect it. It must not be accessible by the general public."
