How to know if XenForo powered site has a valid license?

[QenTox]

Sorry, if this has been answered somewhere before but I couldn't find anything. I was looking for some XenForo sites in my country to see, if someone translated XenForo to my language and I believe I found 2 sites, that are using ilegal (pirated) version of XenForo. So how can you find out, if the site has a valid license for XenForo?

Ask them for a token:
http://xenforo.com/api/

Or report them, and then XF staff can check per domain.

Why would anyone give the token to a complete stranger? I though there is a way to know this without contacting staff members. Maybe it is, if not I will contact a staff member and will post the answer here.

and will post the answer here.

There is no need to post the information publicly.
Simply report the sites you are concerned about and leave it to the staff to deal with it.

It was not my intention to post the sites here, just the way how to know if someone has or not a valid license. But I guess from the answers, there is no way to find this out without staff assistance.

 

[Paul B]

That is correct.

Only certain members of staff have access to customer accounts.

Also some nulled xenforo have a footer that doesn't link to the xenforo.com website. I know many websites that are nulled, and also outdated
