How do I import my existing phpBB forum?

[Johnny Bionic]

Beautiful software - I have a few questions before I purchase, sorry if these were covered elsewhere:

- I have a fairly active forum running on phpBB and I'd love to switch over but I'm curious as to how much of a pain it is to import all of the old posts/threads/member logins, etc into the xf structured database.

- Also, is there an easy way to do redirects on all of the old threads, posts etc?

- Finally, does the license only permit use on one domain, because I have a 2nd, less active forum that I would like to use it on as well because I think it would help with member interaction, but can't justify the cost at for an less active forum. Thanks.

Currently the only way to import from phpBB is to go via vB.
In doing so though you will lose all the passwords so members will have to reset them.

One license allows you to install it on one domain and one test installation.
If you want to install on 2 domains then you will need 2 licenses.
