Default VB3 License?

I see that you can no longer obtain a VB3 license. How does one go about getting a VB3 license?

I do understand it is outdated but I am willing to make it work.

Looking forward for some useful information.

You should be able to download previous versions within a new license.

If you had an unlicensed version installed previously, then purchased a license, you must upload the files that match the license.

For example, when you login and download vBulletin, it prepares a .zip file, in the process it generates and inserts your license # into the files. The license number you enter, must match the license associated with the files in order to show as properly licensed software.

Download a fresh copy of the vBulletin 3.x version from the Members Area, that matches your vBulletin License then upload those files (edit config.php to copy the database and other details from the old config, to the new config before uploading). *Run a backup of the filesystem and database before attempting any of this (or copy the entire /forum/ or /public_html/ folder if you have enough disk space) in case you need to revert for some reason.

I'm sure the spammer will appreciate the informative post when they return to edit their post and add links. :up:

They weren't named Maurice49, or Maurice24 so perhaps not, it appears the bots are being auto-generated with number id's on the end. Well that, and this one hasn't quoted someone, then modified the quoted verbiage with a newly added URL.

MauriceM may in fact be legitimate, only time will tell .

No, they just copied a post from another unrelated website that sounded like it might be potentially related to Vbulletin.
