multiple domains/vbulletin forums

[taffy056]

Hi,

Came across the question below while I looking for an answer to a problem, the question raised was this:

I want to run a series of forums, each existing on a different domain. All domains will run off of one server and one IP address. Now, is there any hack available that would allow all these forums to share one user account database so if a one user registers at one of the forums he'll be able to login using the same login info without having to register again?

My question is if there was hack like this available, do you have to have 2 (or more) licences for this? If it is running off the same database etc, doesn't that mean you only have one instance of vBulletin running, or am I wrong in my assumptions?

Not sure if such a hack exists, but you can check over at vbulletin.org. Under your example this would require a separate license for each domain if this is structured to make it appear that these are entirely separate forum. And since you want to share the user account info, I assume that you intend to have the other database info different per domain.
