Can VB nulled update to be VB licensed?
 

I know some forums which are using VB nulled, but I don't know that in future can they update to be VB licensed (if they buy VB licensed from vbulletin.org)?

You need to purchase a license from vbulletin.com Then yes you can update their vBulletin to be licensed.

hi, I'm new in community( before phpbb) so my question is:
what's a VB nulled? a another version?
thank you

nulled == nullified of any legal code... illegal pirated version.

ok , thank you very much

Lang - they can, but it has more potential for problems do to the altered code.

nulled version = nice possible backdoor installed, so the hacker can screw your site when he feels like.
I saw that with my own eyes, very ingeniously hidden. So if you are not an experienced coder to verify everything, you are basically screwed. Is easy to hide a backdoor, vBulletin has over 100,000 lines of code... only in standard functions. Spread your backdoor into 20-30 locations and it is practically undetectable.

Happily, many people know about the vBulletin potential and they decide to purchase a license, without knowing how upset they might make certain hackers because they lost potential "toys" to play with...

undetectable until you use BBEdit to compare ALL files with an official version.. :)

You would need to have access to an official version to do that, doubt most users of nulled copies will have that, or they wouldn't need the pirate versions. ;)

that is my point.. lol

to answer the topic starters question: yes, if you have a nulled board you can buy a vb license. as long as your board URL is on their file as being licensed, you don't need to touch any of your nulled files until you want to upgrade to a newer version.. although it is reccomended.

of course, a $99 copy of the ionCube encoder would put an end to all that!

ionCube got a discount?

Umm if you get the right nulled the only file diff is the install file 4 the most part

They can, but you will need to replace all files on your server with the new ones, so if you have a modified file maybe like sendmessage.php to allow admins to send members emails, then you will need to re-add the code.

yup. nick has discount's everywhere.

Guys, please stick to the topic or not reply at all.

actually i think that this topic have no place here... the guy have to ask this at the official support forum to have an official followup if he really have a nulled forum.

i will admit i used to run nulled vb files and nuklled vbseo and so forth i made a guildwars fansite and its my pride and joy then i decided on the future of my fansite and bought a vb liscense best 85 bucks i spent and i wont dare run anything 3rd party nulled such as vbseo and so forth wont risk looseing my liscense to all people who thinking about buying vbullietin i would highy recomend it i been useing vb since version 2.0.x

I am not trying to be a jerk... but could you please provide a link (perhaps via PM) to a location where I can buy this discounted version of ioncube? It still displays $199 on their main site, and even when buying multiple licenses the cost is greater than $100.


And to keep with the topic: Piracy is wrong, but the purchase of a valid license and a quick trip to your local confessional shall purify both your board and soul. ;)

if ur forum already big u will needed vbulletin licensed,same like me. hahaha
