Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted June 14, 200717 yr Hi, I'm currently having a IPB v2.2.0 board. And i would like to upgrade to v2.3.0 may i know that does it means that i have to pay again to have a upgrade to IPB v2.3?
June 14, 200717 yr active license is only for 6 months right? omg i think mine is going to be expired in this few days time!
June 14, 200717 yr If you need them to upgrade it for you then go ahead and submitt a request. I would think they will honor it as long as you lis. was valid at the time of the request. If you can install it yourself, go ahead and download the latest copy, you will still have the right to upgrade your code, because your lis. was valid at time of release.

June 14, 200717 yr Upgrades are free to those with active SLAs (service level agreements...aka support contracts) unless something has changed recently. After your support/update contract expires you will not have access to the download area for that license. However, if you download it now yourself, you will be allowed to use the last version available to you. In this case it is 2.3.
June 14, 200717 yr So that's mean that i have to login the client area to download the v2.3 files? after i download it wat must i do next??
June 14, 200717 yr My license just expired 3 days ago, and i have just Renewal: IP.Board: Standard License for Amount of $25.00! but i can't dl the upgrade of IP v2.3???Message i get: Pending (1 invoices)
June 14, 200717 yr you have to pay the invoice, then you can download the new version.i just pay! i pay by mastercard, so does that mean that i have to wait?
June 14, 200717 yr I'm able to download the upgrade now! but what should i do now? i have no idea wat to do next??
June 14, 200717 yr Submit a ticket asking for them to upgrade your forum for you.is it free? or must i pay?

June 14, 200717 yr Just another question about updating from 2.2 to 2.3:Can I just overwrite every folder? I will not overwrite folders like the emoticons because of using my own... But can I just overwrite stuff like /sources/ ? I don't want to get to every updated file and upload it one by one... ;) And I don't have to use any upgrade scripts since the database hasn't changed?thanks
June 15, 200717 yr You can upload all files, except image files as you noted (though you should actually create a separate emote group for your own purposes). I'm not sure on DB changes, but some of the post data has changed (due to how bbcode is now handled) so you will want to run the upgrader script as usual.
June 15, 200717 yr is it free? or must i pay?If you have an active license then you already paid, if your license is not active then you would have to pay $25 for another 6 months of support and upgrades.
June 15, 200717 yr whenever you upgrade to a new version, you need to watch what files you upload. You are overwriting all your files so of course the mods you have installed are going to be affected if you are uploading any new file over the older files...Just have to re-install them now.

June 15, 200717 yr Do 2.2 mods even work with 2.3? o.OSome will, some won't. A little over half the mods I have on my 2.2 forum work on 2.3 still.

I like the new skin and I'm happy to use it on my board. :)
