vBulletin 5 and Inconsistency

[Mark.B]

Not really sure who you're aiming this at.

Nobody "deletes licenses", they can however be revoked if there is a serious and unremedied breach, which you would have been contacted about.

vB5 has two URL options....normal "friendly" URLs and "route by node". These are more than satisfactory for the overwhelming majority of use cases.

Believing that Google will rank your site better because of how the URLs are structured is thinking that is at least ten years out of date, if not longer still. If you're running any version of vBulletin and your site isn't ranking well enough, I can guarantee it's nothing to do with URL structures.
