I think there is a email address for this. Try piracy@jelsoft.com or just email one of the admins.

I do believe you are asked to shut it down and if you do not then they goto your provider and let them know what you have done. In some cases I am sure you might lose your space where you are hosted. I know as a host myself if I learned that any of my clients were using pirated software on their site I would shut them down immediatley and they would not get their money back. I do not understand and perhaps never will why people know something they are doing is wrong yet they do it anyways. Blows my mind. Suck it up and pay the money!

It really is NOT worth using an illegal version!!! Only $160 for life, it isn't that much for what you are getting, I don't understand why either...

The easiest way is to log into the admin CP. If it shows you the latest version of vBulletin, it's not pirated. If it doesn't show the latest version anywhere, they're using a hacked version. Also if they have no hacks, it's possible they're using a pirated version (of course not definitely, but most vB boards seem to be hacked).

Strange logic there?? I'm not using the latest version of vB (because I have many hacks) but I'm fully licensed thank you!

The only way to do it is to email vBulletin. They have a list of everyone who owns a license, so it's just a matter of checking if you are on the list or not.

It's not good to post it on the forums. For example what if someone thought that everyone not using the latest version must be using a pirated version. Then came onto the forums and said hey he's a pirate. I would not be best pleased to say the least!
