Hate to be the wet blanket here, but before anyone else spends their money on this mod I am forced to tell you all to save your 40 bucks until the hack provides more functionality (or indeed, any advantage to you as an admin at all). This is not a $40 script.
It's a good start but that's about it, and since the developer unfortunately saw fit to encrypt their source code (something neither XC nor VB do) you have no hope of hacking additional functionality into the script yourself, nor indeed is there any reason to trust the security of the code.
And the way it sits right now, I'm still not sure how to actually apply the hack:

Copy and paste the defined sections in the file register.php of this archive into your existing one. All code segments are commented with #-=-=-=-=-=

...while register.php constitutes 22 additional kb of code you can't realistically alter anyway, for the life of me I cannot see why the instructions don't tell you to just replace the existing register.php file. And here's something else they don't tell you before you buy the script (in the readme file):

This is only a one way integration, as updating profile information in vB will not reflect in X-Cart, however you can easily change all register and profile options in vB to X-Cart's register/profile process.

I'll go ahead and apply this hack since I already paid for it and hope for upgrades, although considering the lack of a refund policy on the cart-lab site, right now I'm wishing I had spent the extra $2.90 through Paypal to guarantee my money back. You've been warned.
Sorry for the trite review Boomer, because I know this was a bit of work. As of right now though I cannot recommend your script and am uncomfortable discussing with you what else it needs to make it worth the money. Should the situation change I'll happily sing your praises to the ends of the earth.
