Umm?

[Davey]

I know this is not exactly a pre-sales question (and this can benefit other users if kept open), but when my years license expires on vBulletin.com, wont I show up as unlicensed on here?
In which case, I'll have to pay again just to access here? Or not?

Dave.

[Erwin]

Yes. Only licensed vB owners can access hacks and support here. If your license expires, you are by definition unlicensed.

[Davey]

Oh one sec I'm gettin confused.
I purchased a owned license, but my access to vb.com runs out after a year.
Is this the same?

Dave.

[FlyingDutchman]

yes, after that year your license becomes inactive, you need to pay if you want to keep the license longer...

on here, you can only get support and hacks when you have a license, so when you don't have a license anymore (inactive) you can't get any support from here anymore too...

[mr e]

he means he has an owned license but if he didn't pay the $30 fee for the members area would he still be able to access hacks

[Xenon]

hmm are th 30$ for the members area or just for the download section and supportsection?

as long as you have acces to vb.com's member area you can download hacks also.

[Davey]

I have an owned license, so when my years member area access expires, I have to pay just to get access to here again?
Because I was always under the impression you weren't but I wanted to check.
Good job I did really if that's the case...

Dave.

We're waiting for the official word.

[colicab-d]

hmm my license is owned but the years support i think is finito, but ive been here a while... hmm

[Davey]

Yeah but can you continue to download hacks from here if your access to the member area runs out (after 1 year)?
If you can, all is well.
If you cannot, well, I guess I'll just have to send off a check again.
Either way I'm just waiting on an admin's response.

Dave.

[Xenon]

we are waiting for jelsoft's answer.

as the system is now, you can get hacks as long as you can get into the members area.
AFAIK when your license runs out you just don't have acces to the downloadsection of the members area anymore but you can log into the members area itself and therefore also getting hacks..

[Steve Machol]

My understanding is that you will still show as 'licensed' if you have an owned license that is no longer active. Of course if you have an expired leased license, then you no longer have the right to run vBulletin anyway.

[Davey]

I have an owned license :).
Thanks Steve, yet again.
You're always helping me lol.
And pretty quick too :D.
Keep up the good work.

Dave.
