Ok i took over a vbulletin powered messageboard, but the guy i got it from did not have the license (didnt get it from the previous owners before him) and i do not know 1)when i need to renew and 2) HOW to renew, since i dont have any license info whatsoever.

will vbulletin contact me (since i will be the admin) when its time to renew? or do i HAVE to find that license to renew for 1 year?

thank you in advance for the replies.

vBulletin will probably not contact you about that, I also doubt your contact information is bound to the license so...

Anyway, you don't have to renew your license if you are using the latest vBulletin version and don't care about any possible future security patches.

If you do want to renew the license, I'd say your best bet is to place a new order for vBulletin 5 at https://www.vbulletin.com/en/overview/, which automatically gives you access to vBulletin 4 and 3.

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