I'm pretty sure you can't upgrade from 3.8.2 to 3.8.7 with just a couple of files. You need to download the full 3.8.7 PL3 package, replace everything and run the upgrade script.

The 3.8.7PL3 security patch is only if you are on a 3.8.7 release other than PL3 (i.e. PL2 or PL1 or non-PL).

If you are running something other than 3.8.7, then you CANNOT download just the 3.8.7 patch. You MUST download the 3.8.7 package, upload it to your site, and then run the upgrade.php script.

If your board is 3.8.2, you can definitely upgrade to 3.8.7. Do you have a vB3 or vB4 license? If you have a vB3 license, the only things you can't upgrade to is vBulletin 4.
Go into the member's area, find your forum under License Details and Options, press Download vBulletin 3.x, and keep the first selection selected, which is, Download Latest Version 3.8.7 Patch Level 3. After you download the .zip file, extract it, and then upload ALL of the files from that zip onto your forum root via FTP. Make sure you overwrite all existing files. After all of the files are copied over, run the upgrade.php script in the install folder. Go through all of the steps in the upgrade script, then your forum will be vB 3.8.7. |

let me explain a little bit
my friend (forum owner) bought this license and made a website for disable people last year he passed away from Muscular dystrophy and we decided to keep his work alive to be honest I don't know what type of license it was/is under Status / Type it says: Inactive - Expired, vBulletin 3.x Forum (Owned), Expiry Date: May 18th '09 when I click download 3x there is only one option available which says: Download Latest Version 3.8.2 and it doesn't let me download 4x. it says: No versions are available for you to download as your license has expired. Please renew this license to re-enable downloads. is there anything I can do? |
