    So you downloaded a nulled script and now you want a license.
    Steps to take:
    1. Buy the license
    2. Upgrade/Replace all the vBulletin files and overwrite your files just like your upgrading to a newer vBulletin version
    3. Open a support ticket once you have bought the license to have further assistance

    Then upgrade it. You would have to just overwrite the default vBulletin files

    Do a backup first, install the legit version than overwrite the default with your own custom pages. Good to know you are going legal :)

    I think he needs to change it; best bet would be to ask the vBulletin staff on what to do next. Since you have already purchased a license and decided to go legal, they won’t do any thing against you.

    Yeap I think they are likely to help since they are getting someone who had previously been using unlicensed VB, they are sure to be happy with such conversions.
