Looking for uninstallation and selling faq

[soshimi]

I have been searching 'selling' 'reselling on here and the vbul.com site for a few hours and cannot seem to find anything so, please pardon me if I am just blind/wrong section... or arrogant.

Bought Vbulletin 4.x about 3weeks ago. 1 year full license. My partner whom was going to maintain the site has bailed out on me. The site has already been installed into a domain/hosting and is up and running. Possible options I have been think about are...

- Uninstall site and reinstall it to a different domain? Creating a different forum that I would have interest in running?

- Sell the domain site and forum as a whole if it cannot be uninstalled?

- Uninstall the forum from current host and possibly selling it. It it is possible/aloud. Keeping everything legal and just taking a loss in profit. Which IMO is better than having a unused product. And (sadly) calling this a learning experience.

With thoughts in mind a few (possible) questions come to mind.

1. How to uninstall. Just delete everything from my host/file manager? Go into admin CP and have to deactivate it or something?

2. Info on selling, as procedures/step needed to take? FAQ?

3. Steps I need to take to prevent private data from being accessed by the new owners and other personal percautions?

4. Comments, thoughts or advice?

Thanks.

We don't have any faq on reselling since we don't allow that here.

Most users just remove all the files from their host prior to selling it. I would also remove the database, but that isn't required - removing the files is required.

Have you considered putting in a support ticket and asking about the refund policy?

Yes I have, the reply I got is that there is no refunds after product has been downloaded...

They also mentioned being able to transfer the license after 90days however what they said specifily doesn't make much sense to me... they said,

One other option you do have is to transfer your license to a potential buyer after the required 90 day waiting period. Reference Section 1 of the vBulletin License Agreement:

"1. Grant of License
If you are the original licensee of the Software, you may make a one-time, permanent transfer of your license rights in the Software to a third party ("Subsequent Licensee") provided that five (5) conditions are met. The conditions are: (a) you are the original licensee, (b) the Software was purchased by you more than 90 days prior to the transfer, (c) you do not keep a copy of the Software for yourself, (d) the Subsequent Licensee agrees to the terms of this Agreement and the License, and (e) the Subsequent Licensee agrees to assume your license rights in the Software, excluding this transfer right. For sake of clarity, the right to transfer the Software belongs solely to the original licensee; the Subsequent Licensee is prohibited from transferring its rights to any third party."

Is a transfer same as selling or am I just giving it away? How does on complete the transfer?

TIA

You can sell it. You would set up a sale and then put in a ticket to transfer the license to someone else. The details of that sale are up to you.
