Should be no problem at all. All you need to do is to go to vbulletin.com, buy the LEGAL script, upload them onto your server and run the installation. It will replace all your old vb files. OR Just be frank with vb guys. They might help you.
they might help so u mean ... i just install the new vb the legal one and just simple import my backup is that wat u saying ?
I believe you will have to do some editing since the nulled version of vbulletin is likely to have some extra code in it. I guess the only way for you to know if you can successful important the nulled vbulletin database to a legitimate copy of vbulletin is to try it, or talk to someone who has done this.
thats why i m here ... i dun kno anyone who has done it before ... thats i wanted to ask here ... if DP's member can help me out
i didnt do it before but i will tell how based on what someone has told me before first you buy the legal account from vb original site vbulletin.com then you log in with it (through the vb site member log in) which in vbulletin.com then just add your current site domain, there will be somewhere where you can write your current domain you are using and that is all, so when some one report your vb or so they will check if it is exists in their users account when they found it is added then they wont do anything against your site and that is all easy and simple
hmmmmmmm so basicallly ... i just install new vb and download simply import database from the nulled vb riht
Yes, simply import your database from nulled and replace nulled scripts by licensed script, where you can download at member area on vbulletin.com Vbb will like you stop use nulled script have fun
Installing would include, putting in all the mods, template changes, vBseo (is that one current?), etc as well... Though, you may be able to just buy the nulled version. As in th presales forum on vbulletin.com and they will give you a bit more of an official answer.
k guyz here is the new thing i can not import my db bcoz its 4.8 mb (( which i guess its not allot ) i used all the importing script . but no success. some ppl said that split ur db and upload .... so how do you split you db???????? u just copy half of ur db into new .sql file ??? or is there other way to do it .... and plus ... when i use ssh to import db i got an error which loooks like this ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '‹ Ë!Gt and when i try to upload it from phpmyadmin by importing ... i got the error .... exceeded time limit .. something something .... plzz help
i think it is not important to put the new script i will tell you again, in your member area in vb official website,there must me a place where you can write your domain name.write your current domain.And i think it is gonna be okay and about importing the database you can use bigdumb.php wish restore the data base, but you dont have to do that because you dont have to install the new script
What I would do if I were you is buy the license download the vbulletin zip file and upload it overwriting your old vbulletin null files. Then go to the upgrade link and upgrade it. Once thats done your sweet, no need to import sql files or anything.
It should be important to note that the OP has a modded board. Which would mean that they need to re-apply any and all template changes after such an over-write.
The absolute easiest way to do this IMO would just be to continue on the nulled one, but install any upgrades to the current version, then manually re-add the copyright notice to the footer file. (at least thats how I did it I installed a nulled version on sunday to see if I liked it, I did so I bought it yesterday and am now in the middle of installing a load of MODs) PS: I told vBulletin what I had done and asked how to get the copyright notice back in...
