This is simply a tutorial I cant tell you how to fully null the software but with this you can install it on a test server that doesnt have internet access. You have to edit one file or you can use the script provided. I lost all my files for my PC when I had to re-install vista due to windows 7 so I hacked my vbulletin so I could do a test install of the new version. this authen script is for 3.8.2 Enjoy no more keygens.

Look in upload/install/authenticate.php

find a if statement with this in it (bare in mind this is a fixed version)

PHP: 
define('CUSTOMER_NUMBER', '/* 32 characters here */');

define('CUSTOMER_NUMBER', md5(strtoupper('/* 32 characters here */)));

remove the if statement and then add your own install code. Do not keep the md5 defined use only the none mdf define.

Next find
PHP: 
setcookie('bbcustomerid', $vbulletin->GPC['customerid'], 0, '/', '');
(fixed version original has md5 and strtoupper functions)

remove the md5 and strtoupper functions. enter the install code you typed for your user code and your in. I cant stress this enough that you do not have internet contected or else the will know your url I am only able to do this because I hold a paid account on vb.com

No one try this yet I promise it works to a T the install directory is deleted once your done installing and it grants you access without a keygen for 3.8.2.

This is the fixed version for complete resources. You can add the propvided file to save time the code is 12345678. The posted info is the fixed version as I didnt have the untouched file on hand. Like it says it would look like this

PHP: 
define('CUSTOMER_NUMBER', md5(strtoupper(/* 32 characters here */)));
but inside of an if statement.

if statemenst look like this
if ()
{
//some code
}

for the other part its just for the cookie and its best that its set to 12345678 and not to the other form.

this only works for 3.8.2 I'll do one for 3.8.3 tonight. No more keygens for vbulletin if you use this script I'll make one for each new release of 3.8.x amd 4.x.x.
