# NOTICES BEFORE INSTALLATION:

# 1:  This product is completely useless for you if you did not merge a IP.Board forum within your vBulletin lately...

# 2:  You need to still have your ImpEx installation in place to do the install of the product.  Once installed, you do what you want with ImpEx, as it is not required anymore.

# 3:  You can uninstall this product without risks.  But when you do, wait until all your users have logged-in at least once to update their password, or they will have to do the old way, reset their password via email.

# 4:  The tool will convert users password when they try to login, and update it in the database, so there is no event afterward.  Users NEED to login to make it work...  when resetting their password, the system clean the data anyway, so it is safe.

# 5:  Salt was hashed during the install process, that does not mean you can't season your board to your own taste... ;)
