Maybe millions? It's safe to say well over a million, though. I'd think it's pretty accurate to assume that just about all vB license holders own an owned license. So simply multiply the projected exisiting vB out there by $160, and that should give you your answer. And this doesn't take into account the $120 branding free, the $175 professional installation or the $300 phone support.

I bet you ( not sure ) but there are more people with a leased license than an owned one.

I don't agree with you, though you may be correct. Not counting pirated boards, it's probably pretty accurate to assume that most vB boards have been around for a year or more. Therefore, I think the webmasters would have realized that an owned license is much cheaper in the long run, and would have opted for that as soon as possible.

Needless to say, though, it's made Jelsoft plenty of money either way.

Haha,

My whole thing is that right now vbulletin is onyl attracting customers who already are somehow familiar with forums and the whole website thing. A commercial will broaden the horizons of people who still think that the only thing you can do online is email and IM. It will bring more people together to do the things we all already enjoy doing.

This is a perfect example of what i'm talking about. Chances are that people who watch techtv know a thing or two about websites and vbulletin as well. Might as well advertise vbulletin right here on vb.org.
