Okey, so the UBB Central has no right to inactive the license? If they would then I still could run the software since I payed for it?

They can terminate your license if you don't abide by their agreement and then you would have cease using the software.

Unlike vbulletin, the UBB doesn't even have a way to shut off a license (as there are no callbacks in the software). If you where in violation of the license agreement they would ask you stop using the software, but the only real reason they'd ever do that is if you where giving their softwareout.

So then it is almost like vBulletin.

They can cease the use of the software whenever they want. \:\(

Good that there is no callback, bad that they can cease the use of the forumsoftware.

UBB isn't anywhere near as restrictive as what vB is trying to be. Read through the license. It's very basic and seems to only be concerned about piracy of their product.

Well, it might be.
But I would feel concerned about such a policy that UBB Central has the right to do so.

Aye, Piracy is the one thing that every vendor worries about; the Groupee doesn't care what you use their software for, as long as you don't share it

Read the license is ultimatley all you can do; the Groupee (the UBB authors) don't care what content you have on your site, as it's not their site; I don't see why Jelsoft would alienate you so much as to drive you off due to the content of yoru site (which is of no concern to anyone but the site owner in the first place)
