Server 3.0 - Pro version:

The Pro version of the Ventrilo server can not be downloaded. It requires that we accept your application and that you sign and return the Ventrilo license. However, we do not license everyone.

In order for an applicant to be considered you must meet the following minimum requirements.

1) You must have a legitimate business license in your state, country or jurisdiction. Please be prepared to provide proof when requested.

2) You agree to a 1000 slot minimum. Slot counts greater then 1000 are billed at the per slot rate for the total number of slots hosted. Slot counts below 1000 are billed at the per slot rate with the required minimum of 1000 slots.

3) Licensee's slot counts are expected to grow on a regular basis.

We do not license individuals or businesses who wish only to run one or two standalone servers. In these cases you will need to rent a server from one of our official licensees on the hosting page.

But you know what hostile policies like this do? Upon searching for an explanation to the eight-user limit, these were the search results that came up. Crack upon crack upon crack upon crack of torrented software and illicit downloads for people who want to run their own server without these absurd restrictions. Now I'm not going to put cracked software on my machine to begin with, even though I hadn't been considering it at all (again, I wanted to pay for the pro license and I was happy to do so), but the fact of the matter is if you are this unwilling to provide for customers who want your product, this is the sort of result you get. People will just steal it. You see it in video games, it's a constant response to DRM, this is just reality. Create enough difficulty for your customer and they won't bother trying to be your customer, whether they go to a competitor or flip you off and take your product.

Using a PhpBB3 as authentication source

There is an extended example of how to use the authenticator called scripts/dbusauth.pl. You'll need to configure where your phpBB3 database resides, but once that is done you'll simply have to run the script after starting murmur to allow authentication to be done through the phpBB3 database.

Any group associations the user has on phpBB3 is copied to a temporary group on a root channel (and by default inherited to all subchannels). Please note that this is a temporary group membership and as such will not show up in the Edit ACL dialogs.
