Pasza Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hi, I have a problem with the IP. Board. I want to learn the IP framework. Board, but I can not find a free IPB. I want to install the free license IPB (test) to be able to instruct the framework. The Client Area when I click the download takes me aside to buy, how and where to take the free version of the forum where I can put on a trial license?

AndyF Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hello, There is no 'free' version as such and has not been for a very, very long time now. The only 'free' option is the five day demo although it has restrictions as it is not intended as a dev environment in any way, and no data is saved after it expires. The most economical way of obtaining IPBoard is a Hosted Community although the files are encoded, depending on what you plan on doing (as you say learning the framework) this may not be suitable. To have clear files you'd need a Self Hosted licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 The only option for testing IP.Board is the demo system: http://www.invisionpower.com/demo But that is just to let you try out running a site, not developing with the framework. If you want to develop products for IP.Board, then you'd need to purchase an IP.Board license, just like those who use the software to run a site with.

Mark H Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 You have to have a Standard License in order to use a test install. If you do own one, please login with your customer account and ask followup questions in the appropriate support area of this forum, or file a support ticket and we'll be glad to assist further.

Pasza Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 A standard license is the one you should buy? Nothing would do, I'm Pole and I wanted to earn a license to be able to purchase a license (about 600 zł), but thank you for your help, the Polish forum completely ignored me :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfarber Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 To clarify, there is no (legal) way to run IP.Board without purchasing it. The test license you are referencing is something you gain access to once you have purchased a full license. It is designed to allow you to run a test installation in addition to your live installation, so that you can test things without affecting your live site. It is not a free substitute for a purchased license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
