Zon Hisham Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I have sent an email to sales@invisionpower.com with Subject: Purchasing IPB with the following message:I have been using your IPB version 1.3.1 for quite sometime but have encoutered some problems when I upgraded my PHP to version 4.3.11. Whenever I clicked on Excel or Word attachment, I am not prompted to view or save that attachment, but instead, my browser window is filled up with all sorts of funny characters. If I were to include something like bold text in my posting, I will see /[b/]bold text/[b/] when I editted that same posting.I believe you have fully tested your latest version of IPB and resolved those issues.I am interested to purchase the Standard Licence version (mySQL dataabase driver) . I noticed that, it is tagged at USD149.99. Questions:1) Do I have to pay for a yearly license to legally use IPB ?2) If so, how much do I have to pay yearly?3) If so, does the USD149.99 already inclusive of one year license?4) One license serves one domain only?Please advise ASAP. TIA.Unfortunately I received an auto-respond email from Invision Power Customer Center <support@invisionpower.com> with this message:To respond to this message, please visit this URL:http://www.invisionpower.com/customer/?mod...p;ticket=335241I am NOT a customer yet, so why that URL? IPB, appreciate your prompt reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stobbo Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I don't understand why there asking you to login to the client center when you have no account, but none the less, i'll try and help.You pay $149.99 for the first 6 months, and then $25 for every six months after. You don't need to pay the $25, if you do not pay you can still use your forum, but you won't recieve support or upgrades. Basically you have to stick with the version you have got. However you don't have to pay the $25 instantly, you can wait until you need to upgrade or need support.So the pricing is like this:First Year: $149.99 + $25Second Year: $25 + $25Third Year: $25 + $25All Other Years: $25 + $25A license entitles you to 1 Live Board Installation and 1 Development Board Installation (For testing out stuff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBERHOST.NET Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 1) Do I have to pay for a yearly license to legally use IPB ?No, you do not. There is a $25 (per six months) fee for upgrades, but it is optional.4) One license serves one domain only?That is correct.Cheers, and good luck. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stobbo Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 One License does not however let you use a unlimited amount of IP.Boards on one domain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
