If you have an older WHMCS owned license, check the actual account terms and support entitlement before making a billing decision. An existing license and eligibility for current updates are different questions. Use WHMCS account support to confirm your situation and the current pricing guide for new license costs.
Review rights and operating costs separately
Do not assume that a change to new license sales establishes the rights of every existing customer. Record your account terms, supported software version and update arrangements. Then list the infrastructure, modules and team work your installation still requires.
Use this original decision record
| Question | Evidence to collect |
|---|---|
| What does my existing license permit? | Account terms and supplier confirmation |
| Can I maintain the supported release I need? | Update entitlement and runtime requirements |
| What depends on WHMCS today? | Panel, registrar, gateway and support module inventory |
| What would move? | Invoices, customer portal and recurring billing scope |
| What remains? | Hosting automation and historical billing access |
This is a planning record, not a legal interpretation of a particular license or an executed migration.
Compare the billing workflow
For a hosted customer portal and subscriptions, explore our WHMCS alternative demo. PayRequest Business is €20/month, with 0% standard platform payment fees while active. Provider fees and commission-payment exceptions remain separate. Compare current plans.
If WHMCS provisioning remains essential, retain or replace it explicitly. Define the last old-system charge and first new-system renewal for each customer. Payment mandates need their own eligibility review; they do not transfer merely because a customer record has been imported.
Use the migration checklist before moving customers, and request a migration assessment to review scope.
