View Full Version : upgrade issue Leased license -> purchased license, but with new customer ID

G'day.

I've been running on a leased license for the past two years, and one of my co-administrators has purchased a license for us (since renewal is coming up within two weeks). Doing so, he was given a new, unique Customer ID Number. So, he logged into the vBulletin site, downloaded 3.6.4 and I'm in the process of upgrading our test server (version 3.6.2) with the new version.

When I am prompted to enter the customer ID number and I enter the new customer ID number for the purchased license, the upgrade interface simply stops and re-asks me for the customer ID number. I've tried several times now, and the upgrade process will NOT let me continue with the new customer ID number. When I entered the old customer ID number (the number that the current test server is licensed to), the upgrade process took place as normal.

What do I need to do, to change over from the current Customer ID Number to the new one, while maintaining my users and database integrity?

Thanks!

You have to use the correct customer number from whichever account this was downloaded from. If you do that, it will work.
