Vbulletin License Question

[DevinM]

Probably a silly question.

I have had a Vbulletin license for about 2 years and just recently renewed in anticipation of 3.7

Anyway my current boards are 3.6.4 and I have a lot of custimizations and such on them. Is it ok if I set up a test instance of 3.7 on my host thats not open to the public that I can test on?

Id hate to just blindly upgrade and not know whats not gonna work and screw up functionality...etc for current users.

Id take it down once I was done I just have to believe there are provisions for this sort of thing (testing) or migrations of boards....etc.

As per the license you agreed to when purchasing/renewing your license, you're allowed to create a test instance of the site, profiving you follow the guidelines within the license. They are laid out pretty clearly. IIRC, you need to place the test installation within a directory called /testvb/ and password protect it using IIS password or htaccess, etc... I would suggest referring to the license agreement to make sure of what you need to do. You can read it again, simply by accessing members area on this site, then downloading the software again.
