In order to legally operate the UBB you need a license, otherwise you're violating copyright issues as well as not being entitled to support... They should contact the place where they got the install from originally and require the license information to at least cover their butt...

I am a Web Development Contractor, I do not work for UBBCentral. I have provided free User to User Support since the beginning of these support forums.
Do you need Forum Install or Upgrade Services?
