Did you buy the leased or owned license?

If it's a lease you'll have to re-new the license or take your installation offline. A leased license only allows you to run a copy of the software for a year, at which point you must purchase a new lease.

If it's an owned license you don't have to renew right away. You'll simply lose the ability to download new versions of the software until you renew the license. You will still receive support and be able to download patches via the Announcements forum.

The renewal fee for the owned license if $30 USD, a new lease will run you $85 USD.

You can download as many copies as you please, but you may only have one copy of the software installed in a public enviroment.

With an owned license you can run the software forever - that doesn't end. The listed expiration is for your access to the download new versions from the Members Area. You get one year of free upgrades with your license. After this the current cost is just $30/yr for continued access to new versions. However, this is optional and you are allowed to continue running your current version for as long as you like.

You will continue to have download access for any versions released while your license was active.


For non code modification questions and basic support, you should ask at vBulletin.com or in the members area
