Dear Friends,

Sometime ago IPB released its new version of the board ( in 2005 ) IPB v 2. 0. 0 which was available for download for free and could be used as unlimited Trial . 

Recently i noticed that they actually encoded the same script after modifications and released it under severla restriction like. .

Max Posts : 5000
Max members : 2500 etc.

Now My question is since i have the version ( which is not encoded ) and does not have any restrictions do u think i Can/should use it  , going beyond the above retrictions ? say can i have 3000 members ? coz it s an "unlimited trial" ?

Its a fully legal copy, download legally from their site. .  though late i added severla patches to remove the security holes.
