Hello all
I will like your assistance to set up a system of checking of licence, by using the access of the members has vb.org.
Do you have an idea?
ps: I would like to slow down the hacking, give us to them average, help us PLEASE

I don't see how this is practical or particularly wise. An individual's license number is not supposed to be made available to anyone else (for obvious reasons) and even if it was, how would you check it was legal? You'd need access to the database of registered licenses held by vB and I find it difficult to believe they will ever allow that to a third party.
Knowing whether a board is legal or not will have no effect on hacking anyway. Did you mean piracy, sorry your English is not quite 100%.
If you want to check if a board is legal, email vB at the provided email address. Unless you have an absolutely vast amount of vB boards hosted then it's quicker and easier anyway.

I had to think for example creates a post on vb-org with a code, then, the member if it has his licence has access to this code and the update in his profile, but I do not have to find solution to carry out that

He wants to have a script that automatically checks if a board he is hosting is legal.

theres no way to do that. Contact sales@vbulletin.com with a url that you might think is illegal.
