Hi,
Looking to buy a new vBulletin 5 license. I've been asked to investigate whether it's possible to upgrade from a copy of a 3.5.3 database to the latest vBulletin 5. This is from an extremely old site (10+ years I believe) that is no longer around and the previous administrator of the site who owned the license is also no longer around.
If I purchase a new vBulletin 5 license, will the download area have the files to upgrade from 3.5.3 to 3.8 and then to 5? Or is there an import tool only for the database? I only have access to the MySQL database backup and not any of the other files so would I most likely need to download 3.5.3, then 3.8, then 5?
It would be ideal if it could be imported directly into a new vB 5 site. It's not a major issue if some of the features from the previous site are lost, only that the posts/PMs are there with their original post dates.
Finally, if it IS possible, can it be done with vB cloud as well?
Thanks.
