Many coders do NOT provide support for users who haven't clicked the install button. It means they are a true licensed customer to vBulletin and are legally downloading hacks.

Clicking install means you will receive updates about the modification, so you can be protected all the time. It's generally a good idea to just click install to receive updates.

Quoted from the Downloaded Mod PM you receive of downloaded, but not marked as installed modifications:

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications may be notified by the author whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to our attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps the author know how many people are using their work, giving them extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.
