2 forums = 2 licenses.

From the License Agreement:

vBulletin license grants you the right to run one instance (a single installation) of the Software on one web server and one web site for each license purchased. Each license may power one instance of the Software on one domain. For each installed instance of the Software, a separate license is required. Modifications to the Software or database to circumvent the one-license-one-board rule are prohibited.

thanks marco for a quick answer. I wish you have some discounts for second installations.

Starting with the third license of the same type, bulk discounts may be given, see the ordering page for details.

If your wanting to run two forums (1 in one language and 1 in another language) why not just use 1 forum for both languages, make the language user selectable. There are modifications you can use that will do this.

If both forums will show seperate content, then 2 licenses are needed. Using modifications to circumvent the single license, single forum rule is explictly not allowed as per the license agreement.

I think he can simply create 2 categories, and install the Turkish translation (I do not know where or if it's available, I hope it is).

.- English (category)
|-- Pre-Sale Questions
|-- Products Support
|-- Off-topic discussions
|-Turkish (category)
|-- Pre-Sale Questions
|-- Products Support
'-- Off-topic discussions

If he wants the same content viewable in more languages, he can also install a mod like this.

If both sites run the same content and don't have anything different except for language, why would he not be able to run them on two domains. I'm not sure, im just asking, not trying to start anything. Because it's like what they said in this thread http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...ense-agreement .. they say there you can have the same forum on two different domains with the same content and the style can be changed on the two but it has to be the same content. They didn't mention anything about languages but that is pretty much the same thing as if they style just changed, in my opinion.. idk im just throwing it out there because im about to put up my forum on two domains but its going to be the same content on both.

Quote from vb in that thread...."The underlying question here is, do the different links appear as separate forums? If so then multiple licenses are required.

Separating content and forum styles by using subforums and forumdisplay links within a single domain is allowed because that functionality is built-in to vBulletin. "
