free license (self managed or on premise) no longer available?

[ATS_Tao]

a few of 3CX install we manage are on free standard license. I don't see any free license available apart from the hosted startup? is free license no longer available for self managed and on premise 3CX installs?

Cool - Of course the next question is what will happen post-2024, but we'll cross that bridge this time next year.

Expect it to be extended soon and thereafter upgrade to V20 and you are all set.

Its going to be done before end of 2023 rest assured. And we will keep free licenses we are not going to cancel them. So you are good until at least 2025 beyond that its hard to say but we have no plans to cancel anything. Only thing is you will need to update it to v20 q1 of next year.

Thanks, @Nick Galea, It's now showing 1/March/2024, and I'm running V20 Beta already.

Yes it makes sense to have some kind of license for experimentation. Our current thinking is that we will give a free license if you finish basic or intermediate certification. Give us some time to think about it

Keep in mind that these very small amazon instances will not be enough even for a 10 user setup and pbx and web server will struggle to deliver a quality experience because there simply isnt enough memory

how do we get our certifications?
