Trade licences?

[Trevor Hannant]

It used to be the case that you needed a currently active license however we now allow expired owned licenses to be transferred.

1. Grant of License

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, vBulletin Solutions grants to you a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to install, download and use a single instance of the Software on a single website server ("License") through a single installation. Each License may run one instance of the Software on one domain. Any modification of the Software intended to circumvent the foregoing is prohibited and will result in revocation of the License.


If you are the original licensee of the Software, you may make a one-time, permanent transfer of your license rights in the Software to a third party ("Subsequent Licensee") provided that five (5) conditions are met. The conditions are: (a) you are the original licensee, (b) the Software was purchased by you more than 90 days prior to the transfer, (c) you do not keep a copy of the Software for yourself, (d) the Subsequent Licensee agrees to the terms of this Agreement and the License, and (e) the Subsequent Licensee agrees to assume your license rights in the Software, excluding this transfer right. For sake of clarity, the right to transfer the Software belongs solely to the original licensee; the Subsequent Licensee is prohibited from transferring its rights to any third party. You must disclose the domain where you are using (or plan to use) the License, which may be disclosed in the vBulletin registered members area. You may set up one additional temporary test forum for the purpose of testing code, template and database modifications. Such a test forum must be password protected, and not made available to the general public at any time.

I thought you had to have a valid licence before you could sell it? Wouldn't I need to renew the support, and then flog them?

Sell two of your licences on the open market,keep one and upgrade it to a vB4 licence.

That is if he even gets much for them. I've seen the market FLOODED with vB licenses in the last few months.

I currently own 3 licences (I think, can't find my log in details for original site)

I haven't used them for years now, so I am thinking of loading up 1 of my sites again, but I am, wondering. Can I trade in old licences to get a new year of support??

you will need to buy the current product license.

[PossumX]

Additionally your old licenses have likely been long expired for upgrades/support so you will need to buy the current product license, like all of us who upgraded to 4.x did.

Your asking a lot from a company that doesn't even listen to its customers.

The simple answer is no you can not do that.
