Sure enough, I was warned by the IPS Piracy Team for using a illegal board that I admit to using. Now, I was warned yesturday via email, and was asked to verify my license key, or insert it or whatever. I emailed the piracy@invisionpower.com email back (replied) and said that we may be purchasing a license this week. Will IPS take any other measures about this?

Second, are there yearly licenses (For $70-$75)? The lifetime license ($150) is ALOT of money. Thanks. (Unless the $150 is the yearly license, correct me.)

There are no more yearly, perpetual, or lifetime licenses. Only standard ($149) and business ($299) licenses.

Standard license includes six months support (IPSBeyond, tickets) and 30 days phone support, and after six months, you need to pay $25 to renew the support and upgrades to future versions.

Please feel free to email sales@invisionpower.com with any licensing queries, failure to purchase a valid license will result in further contact with your host, but if you've already emailed the piracy team they should be happy to work with you to insure that a valid license is purchased, or the forum is taken down if you are willing to cooperate, without further action.

Thanks :)
