View Full Version : OK to move VB3 forum database between installations?

Am I right in thinking that a VB3 database (not the code) can be moved between different installations of VB3s without problems?

By different VB3s, I mean that these installations all have different licenses.

From peeking at the code, when a user first REGISTERS, their password is placed in the database with NO license information attached to their password at that time (it is just MD5 encrypted.)

It is ONLY when a user SIGNS IN that a password cookie is created that concatenates the license information to the password, and then subsequent page requests check this cookie using both the password and license.

Any advice would be appreciated.

That is correct, as long as all these vBulletin Installations are running the same version of vBulletin.
