I think yes but it will take many years for vb5

If you want to go from vB4 to vB5 you will most likely have to pay an upgrade price, yes (as with most other software). But you will not *have* to (as with most other software).

I'd also assume that the entire suite would be upgraded, not only the forums (if that's what you really ask).

thanks for your reply

i know the upgrade is good

but my question if i dont upgrade the suite is it still working or not

thanks

Common sense dictates they probably wouldn't upgrade the forums without everything else with it.

So, No, I don't think you'll be able to run VB4 Suite items with VB5.

Remember, when you say "Suite" that's the whole product that contains the features of a Forum, Blog and CMS. There again, in VB4 you can't selectively install one part of and not another. (You can disable certain parts in the admincp, but you'll still have to install it fully.)

That does bring up a valid point: What if you wanted to upgrade your forums to VB5, but you didn't want the suite? And... you had the VB4 suite installed: Does that mean you lose your existing VB4 CMS & Blog when you just buy a Forums license for VB5 and upgrading your forums only?

That's just too much thinking for a Saturday night... lol.

I'm confused by the question. This seems analogous to 'can I run vB 3.6.12 items with vB 3.8.4.'

I guess the answer is that as with all previous versions you would need to do a full upgrade to the new version.

I would suspect so but honestly it's too early to answer that definitively.
