What do you mean by using impex???

[ENF]

What do you mean by using impex???

ImpEx - vBulletin's native tool for importing other forum software's databases. (Import-Export)

If you want to move a phpBB3 forum into a vBulletin one, this is the tool you can use to do it.

[Bissaaveli]

ok, can i move with our current forum users and secure them their passwords???

[feldon23]

Their phpBB3 passwords will not import. They'll have to set new ones.

[Bissaaveli]

OK, after installing our phpBB3 to vbulleting, can i send a link to each and every member to reset their password?? Also do you have packages for 6 month license??? please let me know. I am planing to move my phpBB3 to vbulleting.

[Steve Machol]

You can send a mass email to all members with the password reset link.

There is no 6 month license.

[Bissaaveli]

What are your packages???
And how much do i have to pay for 1 year license???

Please specify if you can.

See this for pricing and options: https://www.vbulletin.com/order/index.php

Beginning with vB4 there is no longer any expiration date or annual renewal on licenses. Once you purchase a license you will have the right to download and use all new versions of vB4 for life.

Can you please tell me whats the different between;
Branding-free Option - $170.00
Professional Installation - $150.00

Also can you tell me what is this really? Do i have to buy this too???

[beishe8]

Do i have to buy this too???

No,you don't have to buy them.

Then:
You can install vB yourself.

Branding stays.
