v16 U8a confusion - please help!

[smartian]

I've searched and read as much as I can on this forum but cannot fugure out if our system has been updated to v16 U8a as mandated by 3CX, we do have automatic updates on and I had hoped this would take care of it.

However, the dashboard says we're on 16.08.16, the online portal says we're on v16 update 8 (without the a)

I'm not sure why there are two seperate version numbers and does the missing 'a' suffix mean that we didn't get updated and our system will stop working on March 1?

Many thanks for your help.

Hi @smartian,

Yes you're on Update 8A. If you ever get confused, check out our Change Log that has the release history: https://www.3cx.com/blog/change-log/phone-system-change-log/ Click v16 and you'll see that 16.0.8.16 is: 3CX Version 16, Update 8A FINAL, Build 16.0.8.16 December 2021

Just curious OP, any reason you haven't yet upgraded to v18? I'm curious to know if there are concerns, integrations, etc.

It's running on AWS Lightsail which I understand breaks after the upgrade. I have far too much work on at the moment to migrate to a new VM unfortunately. So I'm hoping to sort it out in the next few months.
