Welcome to the vBulletin support forums! In our community forums you can receive professional support and assistance with any issues you might have with your vBulletin Products.
I run a webhost and have a list of all the accounts on my server using vB and i have access to all their files. I wanted to know how i could find out if they are using a real or nulled version, is there somewhere that stores something like a key?
no as vbulletin doesn't give out any type of license key... just report any that you think maybe fake to vbulletin piracy department and they will investigate.

Why would you wanna check for that? The burden falls on vBulletin, not on you unless you are trying to get their license numbers for malicious purposes. You already told us you have full access to their files.
Could you please tell the name under which you operate a webhost, so I'll never sign up for your services.

Thanks.
So you own a web hosting company and you want to find out the customers of yours who are using nulled vbulletin license??? Do you really have anything else to do now? I doubt you don't.
vBulletin will take care of this matter not you. Your job as webhosting's owner or webhosting's admin is to Suspend the accountsof those who are using nulled vbulletin license after you get an email of vBulletin reported so.

Why would i want their license numbers? Seriously? Any host has access to your files.
I perform a routine check for nulled scripts and bad scripts like Rapidleech and suspend the users. I just wanted to know if i could find out how to tell the difference between nulled and real.
I like to help companies get rid of all these people who install nulled scripts. Im not just going to sit back and let them use it, i code PHP scripts and i know how awful that would be.

Completely agree with you He is trying to ask where and what file contains the key so check if the license is nulled or not while I am pretty sure He knows that He can not check whether the license key is valid lol. I am guessing he wants to collect vBulletin License's license key

Alright, lets go with your accusations. Im guessing that the key locks to a certain domain, IP and MAC address, so what use would they be to me?

It's much more simple. vBulletin has all customers data on their customer area. Everyone has to enter their vBulletin URL and name. If they get a report from a license who someone believes to be fake, they check under their customer's area vbulletin urls and if it's not there, they proceed to take it down. No need for crazy IP, MAC addresses or stuff like that.
Since you have a list of all the accounts on your server using vB, report all of them to vBulletin as piracy suspects. This way you'll find out for good who runs legit or nulled. I am pretty sure vBulletin has plenty of time to accommodate your RobinHoodness. This will give you peace of mind. Finally. No offence, umarsa.
