PHP Code:

|| # vBulletin 3.6.8 - Licence Number DGT-SERIAL 


This is not the signature of a licensed vBulletin file downloaded from the members' area. This is the header of a file nulled by a group named DGT. I don't know from where you have downloaded that file, but it is for sure not from the Members' Area.
- I have no clue on which site you are planning to use the usergroup.php file you had attached. It could be on the site you have a license for, or it could be on an unlicensed site.
- Using nulled files is illegal.
- You do have a valid license for 1 site, but are using on this licensed site files from another license (and owner). Currently this other owner is having problems with our piracy department because the files from his license are used on many unlicensed (and your licensed) board by an unknown (??) person. This owner is currently risking the license being revoked.

- WOW - :erm:

Thank you for clearing this up now and you are right, i think.

i will explain it to you, if you dont mind.
i started my site with a partner who told me he "OWN" a vbulletin license...i was used to be an administrator on another site that was hosted on an free forum and got deleted in cause of violating their TOS...however...i wanted to have my own site and i met this guy and i bought the host and he "owned Vbulletin" so we started our board. I didnt know anything about how VB works so he made all the settings and installes. He didnt gave me his pass for VB or told me how i can profe it. i wasnt even here on the board in cause of that.i was a guest and told my partner in what modifications i am interested him and when he got time he did them. After some argues we broke now since almost 2 months and i buyed my own vbulletin to be independent and the "boss"
But i didnt know which files i can "overwrite" and whicj i shouldnt to not mess my board up in any way.Maybe you can give me a list what files are important for the system and which files for the board ? So i could work save...you know...its a live board.
i upgraded then to 3.6.8. patch 2 but i dont think the admin cp/usergroup.php was updated in any way, too...however...

I will dl now a fresh 3.6.8. - 2 and copy this file.

thank you and Opserty for clearing things up 4 me !

Cheers !!!
