Default Announcing the Presale Event for vBulletin 4.0 Suite and Important License Changes

We hope your community is enjoying the flexibility and power of vBulletin?. As always, our goal is to offer a great product at a great price, and we are dedicated to helping you build and grow successful online communities.

Over the last 12 months, we have been building vBulletin 4.0 to be the most powerful forum and social publishing software. Today, we are proud to introduce the new vBulletin 4.0 Publishing Suite product that includes the power of the vBulletin 4.0 Forums with a seamlessly integrated content management system (CMS) and blogging platform.

As a preferred customer with an active license, we are excited to offer the vBulletin Publishing Suite at a pre-sale discount price of only $130 (over 50% off regular price). This is a truly limited one-time special offer giving you $120 off the upgrade price but will expire on Friday October 30, 2009.

Learn more about vBulletin Publishing Suite features and pricing on our new website: http://www.vbulletin.com/

Beginning today, we are introducing new a license structure. vBulletin is changing to a one-time owned license fee for each major point release. That means no more annual renewal fees. Once you purchase a major point version, you?ll receive maintenance, security and minor point releases for the life of 4.x.

You have the option to keep your current active license until it expires (according to the 12 month term and conditions). For the remainder of your active license, you will continue to receive support and have access to forum software updates, including vBulletin 4.0 Forums. Once your license expires you will only be able to access the 4 Series software updates by switching to the new one-time owned license. For more information, visit the vBulletin FAQ.

Over the last 10 years, our products have offered an exceptional value and we look forward to bringing you the best and keeping you as a loyal customer. Our team is expanding in number and expertise in order to develop more innovative features and to deliver them faster. We are investing in exciting development areas such as new products and services for 'Big Boards' and mobile applications and look forward to helping you grow your community.

Sincerely,

The vBulletin Team

What a joke, lol. So we have to buy every single version, $130 everytime they upgrade? Those who have had their license expiring soon are screwed?

My license has just expired last week... (although I still have the 2 months to renew at the lowest price - $40, I believe)...

Will I be eligible for this upgrade?

$130 bucks on a product you havent even seen yet. basically you have to pony up $130 bucks in the next 2 weeks otherwise its going to cost you $250 to upgrade.

I thought it would be free to all existing license holders. I dont mind paying the yearly price but double per year pushes out the boat

This is BS...you guys are throwing away your company. Not only did the release take 2 years to come out(and it's still a long time away), but now we have this so you can fatten your wallets!

I was thinking about going to IPB before...now I am 100% going.

Hold up.....The upgrade to the 4.0 is free for those that have a license and need to upgrade. The $130 is if you want to upgrade to the Suite, which is the blog, articles and such.

The actual 4.0 vbulltin will be free to upgrade for those with a current license.

So, if you own a current license, you can upgrade to the 4.0 for free and run the 4.0 till whenever. If you lease your license, you can run 4.0 for free until your lease is out. Then, you'd need to buy a license for $195 for the vBulletin 4.0. If you don't own any license, it's the $195 for 4.0.

I think I will upgrade and then just run 4.0 until 5.0 comes out eventually.
