If you are talking about asking if you can use the same install package as he did - then no. Each domain has to have a separate license for it. You could have him transfer the license over to you and then you could use it. But then he would have to delete it off his, which it sounds like he does not want to do.

I bought the Xenforo licence it's on my name but I installed the software on his host.

The license is for the domain name recorded here in the database.
Who has the domain name ?

One of the hazards of letting someone have the script if you have purchased it.
What was the agreement when you purchased it to install it? Did several people put money in together and to purchase it? There are several questions that would have to be answered that has a bearing on what you can do.

If you were the ONLY person that put the money forward you should have some recourse.
Do you not have access to that server? If not, notify the hosting company that he no longer has the right to use that script and it's now being pirated since you are no longer authorizing his use of it. They should either take the site offline or tell him to remove the script and to go to something else to use. Of course, if he has backups he can simply go to another hosting provider and set it back up, but then he's in a piracy setting and that can be reported to the XF staff and they can take care of it.

Actually not correct... the license is in the name of the license holder, who can change that domain name at any time without cost or penalty.

Tracy how do i go about resetting the domain so it doesn't display the previous domain?

You can do that any time in your customer area.

Just go into your customer account settings and change it there.
https://xenforo.com/customers/ and sign in and then choose Edit License Details



Also, hopefully you have NOT shared your login details with this individual as they can then turn around and do the same thing. Not to mention that sharing those login details are also somewhat of a no-no as far as the licensing goes. That's what the 3 additional associated user accounts are for (forum access to ask questions and download add-ons).

Thanks Tracey I didn't share any of my personal details just installed the software on his host.

You will need to ensure the original installation is deleted or you will be in breach of the license terms.

I sorted it this is no longer a problem and everything is now deleted and I am the only one with this licence and software.
