Can VB nulled update to be VB licensed?

[langthangnet]

I know some forums which are using VB nulled, but I don't know that in future can they update to be VB licensed (if they buy VB licensed from vbulletin.org)?

You need to purchase a license from vbulletin.com Then yes you can update their vBulletin to be licensed.

hi, I'm new in community( before phpbb) so my question is:
what's a VB nulled? a another version?
thank you

nulled == nullified of any legal code... illegal pirated version.

[mitch84]

ok , thank you very much

Lang - they can, but it has more potential for problems do to the altered code.

nulled version = nice possible backdoor installed, so the hacker can screw your site when he feels like.
I saw that with my own eyes, very ingeniously hidden. So if you are not an experienced coder to verify everything, you are basically screwed. Is easy to hide a backdoor, vBulletin has over 100,000 lines of code... only in standard functions. Spread your backdoor into 20-30 locations and it is practically undetectable.

Happily, many people know about the vBulletin potential and they decide to purchase a license, without knowing how upset they might make certain hackers because they lost potential "toys" to play with...

undetectable until you use BBEdit to compare ALL files with an official version..

You would need to have access to an official version to do that, doubt most users of nulled copies will have that, or they wouldn't need the pirate versions.
