Bit of a conundrum here. I run a gaming clan forum and 2 members have quit the clan. They were the legal owners of the licence used for our forums. Not wanting to shut anything down and leave 100 members without a home, I myself have purchased an Owner's Licence to continue use of the forums.
My question is, how do i go about changing the forums so that it uses my license, not theirs? I have submitted a support ticket and I got most of my answers direct from Steve, but there's still a few things I'm unsure of.
He said that as long as the versions are the same, it wouldnt be an issue. He said I could just upload all the .php and .xml files and overwrite the existing ones - and that I wouldnt have to alter any of the files. Therein lies the problem. Doesn't the includes/config.php file have to be customized before uploading for a fresh installation? Wouldn't i have to customize my version as well before uploading? (SuperAdministrator UserID's, database ID's etc.) I think overwriting the current config.php file with this untouched version I downloaded after buying the license would cause issues, would it not?
Do i upload every single .php file? Even the ones that are included in the sub-folders admincp, includes, install, modcp, etc.?
Thanks.
