Is a keygen vBulletin basically safe? I mean, would Jelsoft know any different if you had a keygen'd one compared to an actually licenced one..
Sorry for the bother, but im curious.
Thanks, if you reply and help !
Of course they would, they have a database with all customers order details and domain names. If your domain doesn't come up and you're running vB then they assume it's nulled. In the database there is:
Name
Email
Purchase date
Payment Details
Licence Type (Leased, Owned, Branding Free, Project Tools, Blog. Phone Support)
Forum URL
License Expiry
No keygen will forge that, the keygen just stamps a "fake" customer and license number in your files so if your host or someone views the files on your server it looks legitimate.
