I'd like to post this question before I decide to buy an owned licence please.
If I install on forumsite1.com, and later decide that the site isn't going too well, so I want to create a new site called forumsite2.com, so I install the same licenced forum software there instead.
This isn't a problem is it? as long as I only keep 1 installation going.
Kind regards,
Johnny

I got this reply from the ticket service, (thank you for the quick reply). Sorry for posting on forum as well, I thought the ticket service might take more time.
The answer I got was:
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in the vBulletin Forum Software and for contacting vBulletin Sales.
As long as you only use vBulletin on 1 instance at a time, you can change the URL on which it is installed at any time.
Please let me know if you require any further assistance.
All the best,
Marco van Herwaarden
Support Team, vBulletinIn case others are wondering the same thing.
(The exact licence agreement details available can be a bit hard to wrap your head around).

Put simply, you can only use 1 copy of the forum software at a time.
So if you delete the old one, you can use it on another domain.
Just 1 copy per license at a time.
====================
In your control panel, there'll be a place to write the address of your site next to your licence code.

If you do move the board to a different URL, be sure to update that information with your license info in the member area. That info must be correct or it could lead to innacurate piracy suspicion, and if the board URL doesn't match the license info it will cause problems if you need technical support with your site.
