Difference between vb "normal" and adsense version

[gnrx]

Hello.
In the first time, sorry if this thread isn't good in this subforum.
In my account of vb I view that, I can create or associate my adsense account with vb, if this, I can download a version optimized for adsense.
I use adsense since a few years in my vb, what difference are? I ask because, after this years I configured my blocks but I don't like very much. With adsense version, its possible configured better?

Thanks and regards.

The AdSense version includes some additional files which create an interface to manage Adsense Ad placements in AdminCP.

Here is how to integrate vBulletin and Google AdSense. If you do not have a Google AdSense account, you will need to apply for one at http://adsense.google.com (and have your application approved by Google) before proceeding with these instructions.

1) Go to http://members.vbulletin.com/adsense.php

2) Enter the requested information.

3) Log into your Google AdSense account at http://adsense.google.com

4) Click the 'Review account access' link.

5) Click the 'grant access' link for vBulletin.

6) Check that your status is Fully Activated at http://members.vbulletin.com/adsense.php

7) If your status is Fully Activated, then download vBulletin at http://members.vbulletin.com/ but if your status is not activated, then double check steps 1 through 6.

8) Install/upgrade vBulletin on your server as usual, and after logging into your administrator's control panel, you will see an Advertising block in the left-hand navigation panel.

Note: If you installed/upgraded vBulletin before doing steps 1 through 7, then do steps 1 through 7 (skip step 8) and in place of step 8, FTP the following four files in ASCII mode to your server from the new download:

/admincp/deployads.php
/includes/adsense_templates.php
/includes/init.php
/includes/xml/cpnav_ads.xml

If you do not see the Advertising block in the left-hand navigation panel after doing everything correctly, hard refresh your vB Admin CP page (or log out of the Admin CP and then log back in).

More information about Google AdSense integration can be found at http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/adsense_integration

Note: You also may need to make sure you have this permission set for your Admin account:

Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Administrator Permissions -> Can Administer Ads -> Yes

Thanks Trevor for your reply.
In my case, steps 1 to 7 I have.
I understand that, only need:
/admincp/deployads.php
/includes/adsense_templates.php
/includes/init.php
/includes/xml/cpnav_ads.xml

(Not reinstall or upgrade).

Thanks.

Yes, that's correct.
