Cisco Re-Direction Service (EDOS) Outage

14:40 BST:

We are aware that Cisco currently have a fault with their re-direction service for MPP phones.

This is currently affecting provisioning for any phones in the “CP” range that we sell.

As of this time, we do not have an ETA on a fix from Cisco but are assured that they are working on it.

This will only affect new phones being provisioned or phones that are factory reset.

Please keep checking here for updates.

9th April 09:00 BST:

Cisco emailed overnight at approx 10pm UK time to say that the service is now fully restored.

3CX Part Code/Ordering Guide

There are lots of different 3CX licences available and you’ll need to make sure you order the right system for your customer depending on whether they would like a subscription or perpetual licence, the number of users they have and what features they require.

The list of licence part codes looks long but really they are quite simple. We’ve put this quick reference guide together to help you to quickly pick out the correct part code for your install.

Please note, that from November 2020 new perpetual Standard and Professional licences are no longer available to purchase and therefore the list below has been updated to reflect this change.

What’s New? 3CX Standard & Free Licences

As you may be aware, 3CX are changing their free and standard licences as of 1st April 2019. In order to help you prepare for these changes, we will be putting together a series of blogs which will break down the changes for you.

Changes to Standard Licences:

As part of the revamp, some features are being removed from Standard licences, these include:

  • Call recording
  • Call reporting
  • Queues
  • Office 365 Integration
  • Bridges

These features will remain available on Pro and Enterprise level licences. If you are already on a paid version of the Standard licence and still have valid maintenance you do not need to do anything, your licences will be upgraded to Pro free of charge for the remainder of the licence contract. Following the licence duration, you will need to renew your licence via Pro maintenance to maintain these features.

Changes to Free Version

All free licences downloaded from 3CX’s website after 1st April 2019 will be a V16 Pro annual licence. This licence will be valid for 40 days from the initial activation date. Following this, the licence key will then revert to a standard licence unless it is upgraded.

ProVu can also now help you source a proof of concept key for any licence for 30 days. Simply contact our sales team to discuss your projects and organise a free trial key.

New Licence Sizes

There are a number of new licence sizes coming to annual licences (only), giving you even more options to cater for customers whose requirements fall somewhere in between, these include:

  • 24 SC
  • 48 SC
  • 96 SC
  • 192 SC

To discuss any of the above information with a member of our team please call 01484 840048 or email contact@provu.co.uk.
