Simple question

[Nuper]

So I'm looking into buying xenforo license but I'm a little confused on the process...

So I assumed it worked like this, Buy a copy, get access to my copy via xenforo and use it on xenforo

But since I was looking into it, does it do this, Buy hosting, buy a copy, upload it to host, use it from host

Sorry if this doesn't make sense but if anyone is able to help me understand the process of buying a copy of xenforo

Yes.
Buy hosting, buy domain name, buy a copy, upload it to host, use it from host.
