I want to purchase 3-4 Vboard lisences, but have some specific operational needs before I do.

1) Does Vboard allow me to assign a user admin status, but have a setting where they would only be able to create board/sub categoreies (in the admin control panel) under a main category that I specific (think sub-communites). Could they also assign mods to forums in this area?

2) I'm employing Joomla CMS, and like the Vboard integration. I know that there is a mod/hack which allows for multiple board to share users. Would I be able to use this mod/hack along with the joomla bridge to share users of multiple boards with joomla?

1) The admin panel will allow you to restrict administrative access to every section of the Admin Control Panel; However if you restrict them to the Forum Manager they would have permission to edit, add, delete or add moderators to any section

2) This may be a breach of the licence terms; You would be best asking at vBulletin.com about the licence implications of this as I am not able to give you a definitive answer...

Funny you say that. I asked the same question overe there and they referred me to this forum. I understand that for each vboard instance on my server that I would need to purchase an additional liscence

They probably referred you over here so as to find out if it is achievable; As far as I am aware, it could be done...

However as far as the licencing issue goes, only vBulletin staff will know that

From my belief, that is correct that you will need multiple licences; I could be wrong which is why I am unsure of the licencing aspect

If you wish to run multiple installations on a single database, you still are required to have a valid license for each instance of vBulletin you install and use. Whether you make use of single-database integration or using a unique database for each install does not matter.

Licensing is per instance, so if you run 3 instances, you're required to have 3 valid licenses.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
