Hi folks, badly enought I bought a vBulletin license, because I thought UBB Central was so damn expensive. But now I wanna sell it, I rather want this software.

Do you have any tips how I can sell my license the easiest way, OR, maybe some UBB Threads member wanna try his UBB Threads license with my vBulletin license?

It may also be good to note that you should be sure that the vBulletin folks support the sale of thier licenses. I had a discussion some time ago with the UBB folks about "gifting" licenses ;).

Well you managed to buy a vBulletin license so I'm sure you can figure out how to sell it.

If your Parents or a friend bought it then have them try to sell it.

Post on the vBulletin forum and try to barter it or sell it I'm sure someone over there might like say a 10% discount on a new license.

I did that but they looked the topic and said "This is not a marketplace". LOL Damn, btw they say you can't transfer, trade or change owner in the first 3 months, that is so bad. The only thing they can offer is a refund on $160, but the problem is I paid with a temporary VISA for internet purchases and they can only refund the card they paid with you said, but not another VISA credit card or PayPal, that is bad. Any idea how to fix this? There is a guy with a UBB Threads license that wanna trade with me, but vBulletin's policy says no. \:\(

Happy New Year. \:\)

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...

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. \:p

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...

Hmmm... Tell that to Microsoft and Oracle and SAP (Try to get the original Red Hat free it's the one that finally left)

Sorry kid but FREE is not the way of the World. We all have to make money some where some how or else starve.

to add to this, if the ubb cannot support its development costs, it would be let go, it's a cold hard fact, companies don't pay their employees if their employees aren't helping the company reach the rock hard dime...
