The 3CX License Deprecation – AKA Give Us More Money

It’s been a while since my last post. Not because 3CX magically fixed all the issues that I’ve blogged about, but mostly because I ran out of ideas for witty titles. Also because how many times can I state the various issues 3CX as a company has?

But here I am again, typing away, because again 3CX has made another change that deserves to be brought out into the open. Just a few months ago, 3CX “got rid of” their 4SC license tier. This means:

  • Existing 4SC licenses can be renewed, but at like double the cost
  • No more 3CX hosting for 4SC – you have to self host
  • 4SC sales do not count towards partner targets anymore

Basically, 3CX wants you to get rid of all your 4SC and moved to their Multi-Tenant offering. A real slap in the face for anyone who (when 3CX removed Multi-Tenant from v15 – v14 had it) spent the time and effort to move everyone to dedicated instances (as instructed to by 3CX at that time). Not to mention that Multi-Tenant doesn’t have all the needed features for many system installers – stuff like Music on Hold (MOH) customization or non-unique extension numbers per tenant.

With this latest change, you’ll want to be very careful about where you deploy 3CX – smaller customers need not apply.

    I got my partnership cancelled today because I let 3cx know about an ada issue with their system.

    They choose to cancel my partnership instead of address the issue.

    Quite simply they have colors for indicators on trunks but not text and a colorblind individual can’t tell the difference
