The way we do fresh install for clients is like this :
- during preparation/pre-prod, we set up free instance,
- we change this free instance to pro licence a few days before the installation day,
This way of doing allow client to have almost all the licence duration they paid for for production use (pro licence start almost same day as begining of real production from company point of view. Because sometimes preparation can be very long due to problems in phone delivery or client network infrastructure or any reason (and sometimes more than 2 months!).
Reading this change, I suspect we will no longer be allowed to do this in future ?
Putting client email for registration is just a pain from admin point of view. We are here to manage phone system, we should be thoses who recieve emails from 3CX for each IPBX.
personnal opinion :
If I understand well, from strategic point of view, 3cx choose again client against partner like us. I think you really don't understand that we are making client choose 3cx, they will not choose 3cx by themselves. They pay us for managing all the phone system for them and save them time on something that is not their speciality.
In my opinion each time you remove something to partner to give it to customer only, you make wrong move. Be more open to direct client is good only if it is not against partners (like some management possible only from webclient and not from admin page...why not allow both?? they way you did it is a non-sense).
