Full Version: Is IPB free...like phpbb?
Yes it is free
It was, now there is a limited trial (by posts).
So no, its technically not free anymore.

I think that they used to be free, but they aren't anymore.
It used to be free, now you have to pay.
Or... you could 'avoid' paying 
Moved here

Yeah IPB has limited trial's available which can be found here...
Ok cool, thnx for the replies people...
The trail seems ok though...the limitations seem to be these..
Trial Limitations
The trial version is encoded which means you are unable to view the PHP source or modify the PHP source. There are also these hard limits:
5000 Posts
1000 Topics
1000 Personal Messages
200 Members
Bulk Mailer Disabled
Language Editing Disabled
SQL Toolbox Disabled
No IPB Portal Included
No SSI Export Facilities
No ability to upgrade between trial versions
So there is no time limitation which is good and seems like you can do your own skins too. am i righ tin thinking this?
what is the way to "avoid" payment danny?

By using another board. Discussing any other ways would be against the rules.

Invision Power Board(U) v1.3.1 Final is a Final beta, so it's free.
But if you want new version with more features and that looks better you need to pay for a year licance or a life time licence
I use Invision Power Board v1.3.1 Final now, but I am saving for a licence for the new one
if you can find the 2.0 trial (unlimited) it's considered free also, cuase it was a trial without limits back then but i don't see them floating around much now a days!

even tho 1.3 was free... downloading it from another site besides invision power board's site is illegal.. doesnt matter the fact that it was free.. its against their TOA.. which is under and circumstance you are not allowed to re-distrubute your copy of invision online to anyone.. via email, IM, a website, p2p anywhere..
so like 2.0.0.. u have to download it at invisionboard.com
or else its an illegal board.
for those people who wants to buy an IPB licence.. i recommend you doing it this week... before April 21..
currently IPB Licence sells are on sale.

Dude give me a break....loads of things on the net are illegal...everyone uses copies and stuff...Why you trying to be so politically correct?!?!?!?
cause IPS actually does something about it to illegal boards..
they have shut down illegal boards already.. and they arent planning on stopping any time soon..
which is why IPS 2.0 has a tracker.. to let IPS staff know if its legit or not.

If you find it on the IPS site that is. If you find it anywhere else, it's illegal.

which is why its pointless to have an illegal copy of IPB..
it'll get caught either by someone reporting the site to piracy@invisionpower.com
or the piracy team finding it for themselves..

Its not a beta, its a Final(or Gold) version, its would say PDR(Public Development Release) or PF(Pre-Final) if it was testing version.
Does the IPB 1.3.1 has the "portal" feature? If it has, how can I activate?
If it hasn't, where can I get it and how can I install?
