multi vB, with a multi database layer!

[Jakeman]

To my knowledge, vBHosting violates the license.

If some one uses a hack to violate the license, then we absolutely can revoke their license. I believe it is our policy to not encourage such violations by not allowing such hacks to be published on www.vbulletin.com or www.vbulletin.org. I myself made a template mod for running multiple instances on one installation, but Kier wouldn't let me publish it even with a warning about needing multiple licenses.

I have number of license! so would love this feature so my users can go to a new forum with out registering again, would be great if release it.

I also have more than one license, and I definitely need this mod. Please post it here!

Well i definately neeed this now, even if it takes someone to write the software for me, so come on VB Team surely you are able to release this under some supervision without clamming up and deleting this thread? Obvioulsy you can do what you like, but if you are that scared of losing registrations and license fees from people using it instead of registering multiple boards with your, then how about this - I WONT renew my registration, there you've lost one already - oh and the other one I was going to purchase for the other forum.

Anyway I have asked Sonia if i can use her software, but no response as yet. What makes me really wary is the deleting of threads like this, this is obviously a fundamental feature for most users, its not like someone is asking for something trivial, this is fundamental community/information sharing and management tool.

Why dont you just allow stuff like this to be released under supervision - you might lose a few registration licenses with people abusing it - but get a deal with the author that she wont publish this on other sites and then incorporate a dongle into the next release of VB to ensure that NOONE other than registered VB users can use it, viola your license count will keep increasing and you will have a happy community.

it that too much to ask? Otherwise i might just go on to the other sites and find a hack? or worse still use some other forum software?

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your interest in vBulletin Modification from vBulletin.org. I would like to clear something up here. Although this Board is hosted by Jelsoft and we have a plugin for determining the Jelsoft License status of our members, this Board and it Staff is not related to Jelsoft, nor do we get paid for our work here. As you see vBulletin.org have no interest in selling 1 license more or less. I hope that you see that you are addressing your complaint to the wrong people, at the wrong board.

Sonia is also a volunteer, and she might reply or answer to threads or PM's when she have time for it. You can not make any claims on out volenteer Staff.

I hope that you can understand our position. If you want to discuss this further i suggest you contact Jelsoft through the appropriate channels.

Thank you

What claims was I making? Sonia is my hero at the moment, if she can manage to publish something that has obviously been of use to her and would be of great use to me then great, i dont *expect* her to do it if thats what you mean. I just stated that she hadnt contacted me, i wasnt moaning about it.

Thank you

A number of people including Sonia have tried this but not got any response (but this has been explained by a VB Team member in this thread). BUT you have some VBTeam members commeting on the topics in this thread in this forum. I have followed Jakeman's link to the post in the Vbulletin.com forum re: license but this thread is closed. Thats why I posted my comments here, I hope you understand.

But as you suggested I will copy and paste my post into a new post in the vbulletin.com forum.

Any news? I'm looking for a solution to share a user-database over multiple forums.

[jbd]

isn't everyone?

Sonia: "Ooh, ooh, I made a mod to save the universe! I'll release it in two days."

vB.org member two days later: "Sounds awesome, I'd love to download and use it! Where can I get it?"

You hear crickets because you are replying to a thread that is nine years old.
