I Found this on another Site and I Don't Know if this has Been Posted Here Before But Here is Something About the IPB Boards
I'm Sure this Will Be Handy to Some Peoples

Interesting. I'd always thought 1.3.1 was completely free and didn't require a license.

Good stuff, I'll move this over to the IPB section and sticky it...definitely a common question/concern among IPB users

I've always been confused by this whole thing, it explains so much, thanks.

I Knew it Would Help Someone

Your Welcome anyways

Wow nice, thanx for telling us fellow members at Adminfusion

really this information helped me

Hmm. No Limit was published for 1.3.1 or 2.0.0

No limit was set, no, however, as stated, it was understood that if you were to run your forums for the long run, then you would need to purchase a full license.

Also, no matter what you do with the license, the only way that you can use 1.3.1 or 2.0.0 legally is if you were to receive them directly from IPS ~2 years ago when they released them. If you receive it via any other means today, yesterday, or one year ago, you did so illegally (in the sense of IPS' policies).

If you did for some odd reason obtain the trial license 2 years ago when they released it, then it seems kind of strange that you would still be "trying it out", eh? 1.3.1 and 2.0.0 also contain security holes which are neither patched or supported...Something I wouldn't go near.

I don't want to make you go and waste your time looking but it's a bit of a sweeping statement. Can you list any security holes for 1.3 that haven't been unofficially patched?
