Installing Multiple Copies of vBulletin

[lucybb]

I want to install about 10 new copies of vBulletin, all quite similar. Can I install one, then copy that 10 times, rather than go through the official install process 10 times? I want to do this as I customise the vBulletins I use quite a lot, so it takes a long time to set each one up via the official install process (adding avitars, editing language file, applying design etc).

Thanks

As long as you have 10 licenses, then yes you may make copies of the board.

Yes, we pay our bills :)

I meant are there any technical problems in doing this.

Technically there are no restrcitions, however to keep within the terms of the license agreement each installation should use the correct licensed files.

If all installations are on the same domain, we'd recommend different cookie prefixes or at least a different cookie path for each installation.

Thanks, they will be on different domains, we use different cookie prefixes already as we had an issue with that before we suspected (we already have several copies installed). I was already guessing I'd have to search and replace some license key bit of text on all the code for each installation, just wasn't sure if there was something more complex than this I'd have to address.
