    Thanks bobby, that clears it up very nicely, but what does it mean when a script is nulled or is it the same?

    When a script is nulled the script has been checked and cleaned of all licensing call backs. Meaning the owner of the scripts can't detect an unlicensed script being used.

    Whenever someone makes a script, he puts a secret code in the script so that whenever the script is installed and run somewhere, it automatically calls back to the original writer and informs them on which domain the script is running so that they can check whether the guy has taken a license or is running a unlicensed version. Almost all scripts have such codes inside which calls back to the original copyrighters.

    Removing such types of codes from a script so that it can be used without letting the copyrighters know about it is known as nulling the script.

    And all those scripts in which this callback code is removed are known as nulled scripts.

    Wrong or illegal piece of software/ movie/ or any copyrighted digital material is known as "Warez"
