Why do you want to change the "Key" itself ?
Purpose ?

No, i want to change the license i have now to my other one, but i can't find the setting

umm... I couldn't understand clearly what you meant by that.

Are you saying that you want to transfer the "time left" (x months),
for one license to another license of yours ?

[xGriffin]

No. lol

I have 2 licenses right. But 1 is going to run out in 1 month, so when it runs out i will have to change my license to my other one. So i want to know how i can change it over in the admin cp.

1. Specify your current Forum URL and description in the second (other one) license.

2. Download the vB zip file of that second (other one) license to your computer.

3. Edit the config.php file to the appropriate settings.

4. Upload the files to your server, overwriting the existing old license's files.

5. Run the upgrade script ONLY IF you uploaded a newer version of vB than what was on the server.

6. You're done.


NOTE :

Make a SQL database backup before performing these steps.
Just in case...

Well, it LOOKS complicated.

But in reality its very easy.
Shouldn't take more than 30 minutes for you to finish everything.
