    [Forum] Can I install a test forum on my machine

    Hi

    I have a VB license. I want to know if I can install a copy on my local machine for playing around with it. I hope it is allowed under the license. Also, can I install one copy on my office machine and one on my home laptop?

    Regards

    Yes, the license agreement allows you to set up a test board:

    "If you have a valid license, you may set up an additional test forum in order to test code, template and database modifications. To make this clear to us and our license verification procedures, place it in a directory called 'testvb' and be sure to password protect it. It must not be accessible by the general public."

      Thanks. It would be on my laptop, not on a webserver. So the general public can definitely not access it.

        That's not a problem.
