So our commitment of buying the owned rather than the leased 12 months ago (at a cost of $80 more) is now worth $20. Yeah, so i've just lost $60... So yeah, it kinda is fud, it's worthless.

Once you have brought a new lincese (NOT AN UPGRADE), just follow the instuctions (cant remember if its license number of customer number it asks for) to install it, and update the URL from your control...

[ra87]

They are no longer offering the $40 renewal, instead, to upgrade once your license expires you will have to pay $175 (or $160 for the suite now).

Once your license expires (current vb3 license...

[ra87]

The upgrade is NOT free, it's $175 when your license expires, the only free part, is you can get the updates for vb4 until your license for v3 expires, but after that, you will have to pay $175 to upgrade...

[ra87]

They have already stated they will be knocking on 5.0's door in 18 months time. Expect it after about 2 years....

[ra87]

No. That would not be possible. As per vBulletins term's, you can only have 1 installation/instance that is publically viewable.

Therefore, you would need 3 licenses for the setup you want....

[ra87]

You can't without buying vb4...

He's looking for the cost of the vBulletin license to be included in the monthly charge....

[ra87]

I belive you have to claim the VAT back at the end, after they provide a VAT recipt....

[ra87]

They are currently taking around 4-5 days to reply to tickets.

As they are being swamped with orders, it may be a delay with the payment as it's a wire transfer. Give it a few days!...

[ra87]

Because thats for active license holders only....

[ra87]

If you buy a new licence (NOT the $130 offer), then yes, you would be able to use your existing owned license on another domain....

You can use Skype to call their number. I done this a few days ago, and it worked fine.

PS: I am from the UK.

[ra87]

Did you upgrade (Getting the $130/$190 suite deal) or did you buy a new license at $235?...

[ra87]

Yup - At a cost of $150...

[ra87]

This was talked about in another thread - yes, you can. Steve stated that you could use 2 sets of files with 1 SQL database if .htaccess was a problem, but to clear it with them first via ticket (not...

[ra87]

The whole point of the sale lasting for only a few weeks is so people HAVE to buy the more expensive version if they cannot come up with the cash. If you cannot pay, vBulletin have made it very clear...

[ra87]

The upgrade is not free as you see it - The free part means you can use vb4 forever if you have an owned license, but you can only download the updates until your license expires (in Jun 2010). If you...

[ra87]

It's Not free in the way you think. If you want updates after your license expires, you will have to upgrade for $175, or buy the suite in the next few days for $130

[ra87]

Hell to the no!

I was waiting to see a preview before I even considered buying the upgrade, now to 100% not! I know you might say never judge a book by it's cover, but wow - there are only...
