lol i'm sure their license system just allows you to change your name/address; which in essance would be gifting it in any case...

They have such foolish policies lol

I agree. But they say it is against their EULA to change contact information before 3 months.

I am so pissed, I have the opportunity to trade a vBulletin license with a UBB Threads license, and the idiot policy vBulletin has says no to that.

Another way we could do is that I get the refund and buy his license for $160, but it is not even sure that I will get the refund for another credit card.

How old is the license?

You could tell him about the policy and give him full info to change it; then when the time comes he coudl do as he will...

Like 4 days. Hehe I don't really understand what you mean. But, come with more suggestions! I wanna use UBB Threads hehe.

Well, they have a system TO update the information yes? Well, give him access to that, and tell him to change your usr/pass then tell him about the policy (well rathertell hima bout th epolicy in the first place, then give him access if he agrees) then he can update the contact info whenever he pleases (after the date taht is)

Nice idea. But big risk that I will get caught and that they will revoke the license.

Nah the only thing I can do is change the URL, and not customer information, Switch Customer (is not available until 3 months). I can't even change the password or username there.

yeouch.... Wel, if you think about it, it could be for fraud prevention as well...

I'm assuming you're using the new payPAl programme that assigns a "one use" card number? You should contact their helpsite to see about refunds, you'd think they'd have some way that you could get refunds

Well, I used a VISA one use card, from the bank.

Damn, you know what, this is the reason why forum software should be free! The only thing I hate with UBB is the price, and it is kinda absurd, even vBulletin's and IPB's pricing are absurd. I hate to say this, but if you guys don't lower your price soon, then people will leave this. Free and Open Source is the feature. The little reason I didn't buy UBB was, it is too expensive. The upgrades are expensive too.

I'm as much for open source as the next guy, but I have been with the ubb since the late 90's and honestly, others can't compare, and I have been more than happy to dish out the cash for a gold license as well as the other 2 standard licenses that I have...
