Seems like that way.This pops up as my concern to. As a small MSP local to the area competing the slow game with Avaya dominated contracts (cloud+prem setups) I want to ensure all my current customers that are comfortable on their 4SC are not going to have some show stopper coming in 2019. They aren't ready for the move up yet and currently it's meeting their needs (the 8SC free limitation PBX edition was fine as well for them)
I noticed that for us "affiliates" that didn't have enough revenue or "up-sales" on our account are going to get our accounts removed starting into the next year. So sounds like it's back to having to log into my individual customer accounts to keep track of their information for their current PBXs.
Any comments on that?
Yiannish,
Two of my customers have received these emails which appear to contradict what you have said...
"Maintenance will expire on 31/12/2018 00:00:00 (+00:00). Renew your maintenance by upgrading your key from here http://www.3cx.com/ordering/pricing/3cx-maintenance/.
If you already renewed your maintenance and you still receive this message, go to 3CX Management console > Settings > License and reactivate your license again.
If you let your maintenance expire, you will not be eligible for 3CX updates. Conferencing will stop to work and your FQDN will be deleted."
Both of my customers were on the 4 free PBX Express before it went up to 16.
Seems like that way.
All of my customers are small businesses or sole traders that want the professional PBX experience, hence why I have suggested 3CX to them. None of them require anything more than 4SC at the moment. It will become a nightmare to manage as the year goes on.
What PBX version are you running? You can see the exact build number on the Dashboard, under the Information column next to the licence version. For example 15.5.15502.6.Hmm, I'm experiencing this same issue, but my instance can't contact the activation.3cx.com server to refresh the license. It's also not responding to pings and I have no firewall rules that would block that. Is there something going on with the activation server?
Sorry about that.
