    If you have an active vB license and you do not see the option to Upgrade Existing, you must click the Customer Login link on the top right of the page.

      Series?

      Has anyone heard an estimate on how long a series is expected to last?
      I would hate to be buying into a series per year deal or something the way
      Apple handles their ipod/iphone firmware upgrades.
      It seems like every other week, I'm sending out more money for an update.
      The present vBulletin software has progressed a series about every 3 to 4 years.
      I'm sure with the new development team, thats surely to lessen dramatically.

        No.

        Welcome to vb.com, although you have probably been here for a while.

          nevermind - I found this in someones signature

          vBulletin 4 Pricing Structure
          Active vB License: Try vB4 for free until expiry. Upgrade vB3/vB4 for $175.
          Expired vB License: Upgrade vB3/vB4 for $195.
          Active vB + Blog License: Upgrade now for $130. Upgrade in Nov for $250.
          vB5 expected in 12-18 months Upgrade again for $195?

          $390 for the next 4 years > $40/year

          So vB5 in another year or so?
          Looks like the life cycle is short.

            6 months ago, Ray Morgan said that we should be "knocking on the door of vB5 in 18 months". Even if they really slip up on release dates, let's say 2 years from now. That's $195 x2 in 2 years. Just shy of $400. Yeah, I miss those $40 annual renewals already.

              Theres that Sig, lol
              Thanks, I searched high and low for that earlier.

              I admit its quite scary.
              Not only asking for an extra amount of cash but a drastic change in the infrastructure itself, forcing coders and designers to wander into new territory.And all this on blind faith.
              Like walking into a dark room with your eyes closed holding out your wallet.

              I hope theres a trustworthy community in that room to guide me.
              But I dont see paying more for a script than what my hosting will cost.
