[Recursion]

This is great. But the one in cPanel is only v1.2 and it wont let me upgrade to 1.3 so i PM'ed Axel for a link to 1.3

Thanks Guys! +Rep to all!

EDIT:- Im not sure if i gave you some Steven. But it says i must spread some around so i assume i have

[xxMATTGxx]

No problem and thanks for rep :)

[zainx]

Isnt ipb 1.x only free if you have it in cpanel. Just like the 2.0.4 trial its illegal to download it from anywhere now.

[Recursion]

I Dont know, People are syaing its free so i think it is...

[xxMATTGxx]

Its free if you have it on cpanel. - Yes.

[Recursion]

So you are allowed to use v1.2 and v1.3 For free if you dont have cPanel !?

[Tomm]

You can use 1.2 with or without cpanel. But 1.3 needs a licence.

May this answer Many People Questions!!

[T0M]

[syed1994]

As long as you downloaded IPB 1.1,1.2 AND 1.3 from IPB website, you are free to use it but as the support desk said that there will be no support given, consider going to Invisionize to get the problem solved. (P.S. They are NOT IPB Staffs).

[Recursion]

Dude IPB said we can download 1.2 and 1.3 from anywhere after they mis-understanding one of my emails, we got it sorted though.

[syed1994]

Umm, you missunderstood.

[Recursion]

Its different. V1.2 and V1.3 was distributed under an old and different lisence which is no longer on the website. I asked invision if we could download it and use it and they said yes as long as it was v1.2 or v1.3.
When V1.2 and V1.3 was released Invision was a free to download software company. And then they turned around and turned into a proper company...

[syed1994]

Well I contacted them. Here is the reply.

[Recursion]

You dont get FTP access.

[Chuck1993]

[Recursion]

You get it in Scripts library. Sometimes your host wont give you scripts library or will take some things out of it...

[Chuck1993]

there is only the phpbb 1 in my scripts library i read its illegal on another forum but i rekon thats rong (illegal to have ipb on cpanel)

[Recursion]

IPB 1.2 and 1.3 Was free thats why 1.2 is in cPanel. They also probably have some sort of lisence to spread V1.2 around with there cpanel.

[Chuck1993]

[Chuck1993]
