license

[shezza]

Just upgraded my license from standard to pro and the customer portal is showing pro but the manager is not.

How can i upgrade the app with the new license. i was on a trial cloud hosted by 3cx version so i am limited as what I can do I think.

Thanks

Hello @shezza

Please navigate to settings / License and click on the "Refresh License Key Information"
That should force the PBX to update the licence info

You may have to do a full backup without FQDN and License. Save the backup to a google drive or ftp server. Then do a restore and enter the new license info.

The process should take about 15-20 minutes.

You look like you're not logged in as admin

 

[shezza]

definitely logged in as admin

its hosted by 3cx so maybe they have removed the license option

The license number appears to be the same so will a backup and restore work. I'll give it a try

Since your PBX is installed on a 3CX free hosted instance for 1 year the license tab along with a few more settings is missing that is why they are not visible.

Please note that the free hosting was never designed for paid licences as it is primarily for testing purposes as the capabilities of the free instance do not allow for heavy use.This is also the reason why PBX express only allows for installations on your own instance and to get a free hosted instance you have to go through the order form.

If you require a Pro licence i would recommend creating backup and moving the installation to your own hosted instance. To do so:

• Create a backup without licence and FQDN and save it to an FTP or google drive location
• Spin your own instance to your hosting provider of choice
• Use the PBX express to install the PBX and use your licence key (FQDN will be the same)
• Restore the backup you created.
