Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Keven Fox Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Okay, say I have 1 Perpetual and 1 Yearly license. Since 1 is perpetual you have access to future builds and updates, so you'd be able to update the yearly as well. I mean morally maybe not, but I would think it wouldn't be that big a deal?
RedEnzian Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 yes, u can update but every download from the customer center includes the lincense key, and if you update your yearly licensed board with this download, it will get illegal.
Keith J. Kacin Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Your license key is included in the download.And your license key is tied to the domain for that board.So if you did what you mentioned, you would likely have the Piracy Department contacting you. :)

I mean morally maybe not, but I would think it wouldn't be that big a deal?Morally, that would be bad. Also, each major (or even point) upgrade embeds your new license key, and the result of a validation by IPS would be a negative, making your license invalid. What they would do, I don't know, but they would be within the terms of the agreement to terminate your licenses and demand you remove all copies of the software. Don't do it, mmkay?

She runs a rehab center for wildlife and pets and is stuck with phpbb. Thanks for the reply

Ive installed a board before, then bought another license, and switched the domains of the two licenses, because I decided that I wanted the first domain to get more support and download access (it should be noted that the license I changed the domains on was still valid, meaning my board version is still fine - as both licenses are active, one just will last longer) I'd be pretty miffed if I had to change the files across just to be safe!
