subdomain = still a domain therefore would follow the example setforth by Jake.
This is against the rules, right?

Perhaps for this reason?
3. Your forum is accessable from multiple domains and your forums are configured to show/hide certain forums based on the domain. This is not OK and requires an active vBulletin license for each domain.
In this situation the forums appear to have separate content thereby making them separate forums in the eyes of the license agreement. Your forum content needs to be the same for each domain in order to qualify as a single forum.MarkComment

The domains have seperate content.From licence agreement: By installing and using vBulletin on your server, you agree to the following terms and conditions. Such agreement is either on your own behalf or on behalf of any corporate entity which employs you or which you represent ('Corporate Licensee'). In this Agreement, 'you' includes both the reader and any Corporate Licensee and 'Jelsoft' means Jelsoft Enterprises Limited:
what IS in the agreement that you made is:
Modifications to the software or database to circumvent the one-license-one-board rule are prohibited.Originally Posted by Zachery

Originally posted by trekwarfareWould using sub domain addresses also fall under this?
I was thinking of having seperate sub domains point to certain ships or section of my RPG forum.
Example:
ship1.site.com
ship2.site.com
the styles would be the same (unless of course the user has selected something different from the default one) and the entire board would still be accessible by the normal navigation in the navbar.
Thanks for your time!!
I will ask the others about this.Comment

This makes me ask a question...
KyleTech has many different sister sites - Pokemon~Things Not Seen, Team Rocket Banner Exchange, and The WC Connection. Now, they all link to a different style on kForums:
WC: http://forums.kyletech.us/index.php?styleid=2
TRBE: http://forums.kyletech.us/index.php?styleid=3
PTNS: http://forums.kyletech.us/index.php?styleid=4
Now, the styles have the same content, just different styles to complement the sister site's layout. So basically, is this legal?
Oh, and all the links say kForums

Each of those links looks exactly the same to me. No style differences at all. However if the content is exactly the same then this is fine.Steve Machol, former vBulletin Customer Support Manager (and NOT retired!)
