    Once you buy vBulletin you have access to various database converters on their members website. If you need any help once you have purchased vBulletin please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to help you out.

    Thanks for you offer mate, currently i own a vbulletin license running one of my forums (onlinewebmarket.net). I would create a test forum under the same license and try migrating the phpbb board to this one (just to test, then if everithing goes ok i'll pay for the second license). It's that possible?.

    That is possible just as long as you don;t make the second one public until you have the second license paid for. I would password protect the test forum (personally). If you need any help just let me know.

    I did it about 6 months ago. Its not that hard. You need to access the members section on vbulletin.com and grab the database convertor.
