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?

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 ;)

where can i d/l ipb 1.3 then....coz i just tried 2 but i dont think u can change skins on the trail version..and id prefer a full 1.3 rather than trial 2...

i cant find it online?!?!?!

thnx

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.

One Year License: Was $69.95 Sale Price: $54.95 (Save $15.00!)

Perpetual License: Was $185.00 Sale Price: $149.00 (Save $36.00!)

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 [email protected]

or the piracy team finding it for themselves.. :p:p
