IPB Key Verification

[smoothunderground]

Hi, my company recently purchased a license from IPB. I have yet to find a place to enter the key so I can download things from the community resources.
Where could I go about doing this?

To be able to access the resources, and write in the restricted forums, you have to log in with the same email address used when purchasing the license.

(Not sure if alternate contacts can access downloads)

Ahh, alright. Thank you very much.

Actually, the key you get is entered in ACP > System Settings > IPS Apps (tab) > IPB License Settings

But that has nothing to do with downloading resources, like m4rtin said.

In fact, does this key get verified somehow? I think I have tried a lot of time ago to erase it to see what happens, and if I recall nothing happened...

Nothing happens.
It was used in the past. It may or may not be used again in the future.
We currently ask you what URL your board is installed at and then to validate a board's license we just search our database for the URL.

In v1.3, that would change the little "(U)" into "®".

But really, that's it.
