Download it from the vb members center.

It should be in your original download under a section that is not for uploading. Once you are done with tools.php remove it immediately.

You can't login into your adminCP with tools.php ... It tells you to remove it, But why is it so bad?
It requires a Customer Number before you can access tools.php
Why would it be a threat?

Because someone else could enter their customer number. ;)

Never heard someone getting the customer number some how...

I'm saying another vBulletin Customer could use their Customer Number.

The customer number you install on your site, is the only customer number you can use to upgrade or use tools.php etc.
Someone else can't use their customer number your site.

Uhh... no. That's not true. I know this because a not so friendly, friend, of ours used their Customer Number to downgrade our Forum. Granted, it didn't do anything aside change the version number - he did it never the less.

I dont think so.

Also if this was true
/install/upgrade.php
Would work on any site then. Which it dosen't... You have to have the customer number that goes with that personal vbulletin.

FACT
Did you know that any pirated vBulletin or someone elses vBulletin has to work with that Customer number?
It can't work with any

We could argue until we're blue in the face, but it won't change the fact that he did it. Perhaps it has since been fixed in 3.6.x - I don't know, all I can say is that it at one point it was at least possible.

You may also want to set your admin user as uneditable in the config file...

If this theory was true... Then anyone could access this

http://vbshazz.com/install/upgrade.php

or for the 3.5.4 try

Will your own customer number work?

Its really not true shazz, never has worked and never will work without knowing the customer number associated with the liscense number
