Hello,

I just purchased an existing forum from someone. They have sold the site but they wish to keep the vb license. What I would like to know is how does the process work now? I get a license on the same domain? then set it up on my server..move the db?

I would like to please get a step by step details. Also, would like to know if there would be problems if there would be two licenses on one domain. Meaning the old licensee would keep the domain in the vb system so the site doesn't go down.

Thank you

1) Buy a Domain
2) Get Hosting (not some cheap hosting stuff from like geocities)
3) Buy License
4) Input Domain License Information Into Members Area
5) Download Install files from Members area and Upload vB3 PHP Files onto your server
6) Upload Database (the old one)
7) Make sure you are running latest version of vB initally from your purchase. If not run upgrade scripts
8) Enjoy new site :)
