        You would install vBulletin 4, and then use impex to import the data.

            1.
            Yes, with a vB5 license you also get access to vB4 and vB3 and you can use either of these (1 "live" installation per license).

            2.
            Some information about upgrading vBulletin can be found in the manual.

            3.
            You can find Impex in the member's area or – very recently – on GitHub.

              It's not "or." It's only on Github now.

              Would suggest starting from here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...ual-file-fixes

                correct.

                Make a backup before each major step.
