if some one uses my licence
 

Hi all

if some one uses my licence without my knowing what should i do

Contact their host and let them know about this and ask them to take down the site.

ok thank you i am doing it now

some one help me with this matter i dont know who hosted that site and were is it hosted i tried a lot but i ddint get any details about it can some one please help me in contacting the service were it is hosted

thank you

How they got your vbulletin licence info?
Submit the website info to vbulletin -
http://www.vbulletin.com/piracy.php

i dont know how they go it but vbulletin only send me that message that they are using my license

Its not possible that someone is usesing your licence unless you gave it to someone else

no guys may be mine email got hacked and they may be using mine license

Considering that's who sent him the email telling him that it was being used illegally, that's not going to be much help.

If you can't get it taken down by the host, you're out of options. You might want to take better care of your email security.

EURODNS S.A. is the registrar of that domain, but oddly WHOIS searches aren't providing any contact info.

Go lookup the site and contact their host. They may or may not help you out. There are a LOT of hosts that are very good at making sure sites without proper licenses are taken down when they are contacted about it.

if they dont respond what should i do then is their any another option

I'd love to know how you even managed to find the host. WHOIS does not show .ro detail as far as I can tell.

Why would a hacking community use a legit copy of vBulletin when they have thousands of the latest nulled versions of vB. This doesnt make sense.

VB should change the password for that reg number so the legit owner is covered, then its VBs problem that a site is using the illegal software.

that will stop the illegal copy from downloading new copy's and mods and stuff

If not then what good is haveing a registered copy!

looks like the site that's in question is down anyway, but still the owner should get a new password or something from VB since his is obviously compromised

Wrong. Read the license agreement. It is up to the owner to not share their files in anyway. And, vB is not going to just change a password on an account when multiple sites show up using the files. The owner is the only one who can change the password.

If people actually read the agreements you must agree to in order to use a service or product, No one would actually use the internet, most just click here to agree.

That may not be the right thing to do, but I'm sure most people don't have lawyers on staff to peruse these agreements, that in most case's protect the seller, and not the end user, so if your going to use anything on the internet, you are going to agree to the online agreements provided by every single service on the internet. or you will not even sign into the internet.

With all that said People in here give that information out on a regular bases, when haveing mods installed or even the forum software installed by people that are not the end user. This actually voids their contract, because they have violated the terms of the user agreement.

So later when a pirate board pops up using their information are they to have their license revoked. If so then that practice should not be allowed and people should know that they could later lose their lic because of some thing they allowed because they just wanted their board up and running.

and before anyone get's all defensive, I'm just saying people have got this guys info in some way. we may never know who or how but I think he has probably had someone that once had access to his lic info. So is it his fault ?, if so oh well but if not and somehow his information was hacked in email, that would be the issue, maybe that information shouldn't be sent over the internet, maybe it should be saved on a secure server and you would have to log into that location to retrieve the information that is normally sent by email to customers! after purchase.

just a thought :D

yup i changed the password of it and my mail also but vbulletin want me to take that site down in 20 days other wise my license willl be can cancelled

this is no doubt a VB issue not a client issue, If these guys are involved any site my be next

maybe talk to vB about cancelling your license and issuing you a new one?

they wont Lynne already said its on him as per their agreement on lic

oops so their is no way way of contacting them and i mine license may be cancelled please some one give me a good idea of taking down that site

vB is washing their hands of your situation. I doubt that site will take itself down, the guys are hackers. Looks like your license is going to get cancelled.

Question is, will you have to take your personal site down, or just not be able to download the latest updates? Did vB explain what will happen to your site? ie cancelled license, therefore your host is going to get another letter about your site as well from vB.

http://insecurity.ro/board/forum.phpit doesn't show any copyright info so its up to VB to stop this guy, its their copyright infringement going on along with you lic being compromised, was you copy unbranded?

wow i may have a way to hack them, if its your board use your reg number to and password to go in and update the board to some earlier version then change the passwords and stuff dunno if it will have the same reg stuff going on but heck i would do it

man VB needs a super admin back door password for this sort of thing

i got this reply now

I've added the URL to our Piracy database however there is no guarantee that this will help. It's still your responsibility to look after your files, any login details to the Members Area and to access to your server.

i have to wait and i also have to do some thing as they said their no gurantee

I did some research as this got my attention....

There are some illegal copies of vBulletin which come with keygen's now. So there is the possibility that the site used a keygen and got lucky (came up with a valid number)

I did some research as well....
if the OP is running a warez site..
more than likely gave his/her license out to a ripper who may of told them they would remove all customer info from the license..

(proof it's his/her warez site)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...17#post2141717
this thread, asking questions about a profile with this unique user in it who is a mod..
it's this user, who is also a mod on their site..
downloadsmasti.com/member.php?9235-GIRI

moral of the story.. don't run a warez site & if you do, don't play all innocent when your stuff gets stolen :rolleyes:

PS... your site has been reported ;) Have a great day!

Wow. I didn't visit his / her site. It's surprising how silly someone would have to be to come here and request for help, when they know they are doing wrong. LOL

Good job on catching them on that. :D

well no one can really say how it was exploited, but there is exploites for the version on the hackers site http://www.securiteam.com/cgi-bin/ht...s=exploit+vb+4

I had someone try the calender exploit on my 4.1.1 site just yesterday after messing with the hackers site the other day

Except if you read the details for the calendar exploit, it says:
The OP is not running vB2.

calender was just what showed up in my logs,actually it gave me an error

What? People post their customer number and password in here?

Or maybe you are suggesting people post their email address and password to that?

Pfft. Link/screenshot, or it didn't happen.

A really, really weird one.

To be fair, the post says "People in here give that information out" and not "people give that information out in this forum". In any case I doubt it would "void the contract", but it might make them responsible for any abuse by the people they give it out to.

Well, the vB Team is made up of real people, right? Not like, robots and shiz. I'd figure that they could help out their customer, somehow. I mean, so long as he still has the same e-mail that's on file with the Team, I can't see how it would be so difficult for them to destroy the current license number and maybe grant the guy a new one.

(Granted I can barely understand the guy, so I don't even know if that's what's going on. Heh.)



Anyone who mentioned something about getting a Romanian host to actually do something about one of their customers has obviously not been around Romanian hosts very much. XD (No offense, it would have been a decent suggestion, otherwise.)



As for downloadmasti running a Warez site, I really don't see how his site's content has much of a bearing with the topic at hand, even if the content is illegal, so long as he is a legitimate customer of vBulletin. (Of course, that's assuming he IS a legitimate customer.)





To the OP, best thing you could probably do is talk to a human being on the vB Team that handles licensing. If you are indeed a legitimate customer of their, and you are still using the same e-mail registered at the vbulletin.com site, then they probably COULD help you. Assuming you're a legit customer, I'd have to think of them as [insert plural expletive] if the did not help.













Disregard that. The Terms of Service state:
So yar, sorry, OP. You are pretty much screwed.

Anyone who gives global FTP rights to someone, and doesn't immediately revoke them once the work is done, is liable for anything that they failed to keep secure.

but i never gave my ftp details or any details regarding my site or my license but dont know wht it happened

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


what if i do this.. will my license will be with me

I dont want my lincense to be cancelled so,

I will close my site http://www.downloadsmasti.com completely

When the problem will be solved i will start my site again
i.e., after that site http://www.insecurity.ro/board/ not using my license files i will start my site

and how to know that they are not using my files

If i do this i think their will be no problem to my license

Unless you forgot to include the part where the other site removes all your files, then no.

(I was replying to the person above, who alluded to the fact that people have others install mods and upgrades for them.)
