Currently with small Windows systems the hostname and hence the certificate are shared by the Windows instance and by 3CX - lets say server.company.com . If we break them out to Linux (either as physical box or VM) the hostname must change. I know previously that hostname and license were tied together so you couldn't just change it. Is it possible to change the host name for various licenses to something more specific like 3cx.company.com ?
Split DNS from outside would have made this workable before but with v20 it requires that the addressing be FQDN and not IP so the web console becomes unavailable internally.

Many thanks,
Gareth
 
Why not use a 3CX FQDN? This way you don't need certificates mess.

You can change the FQDN by releasing the current one in the Customer Portal and then reinstalling the system on Linux with your latest backup. During setup, it will ask for your chosen FQDN. There you can change it.

I have no idea what you are saying here.

Debian or Windows doesn't matter - you can have whatever.whatever.tld you want for 3CX, as long as you own/control that domain/subdomain.
