WHMCS V4.4.1 – Have you tried the latest version?

If you are one that uses WHMCS, you were probably excited when V4.3.1 came out last year.  After all, WHMCS is already one of the best client billing and support management solutions. V4.3.1 stable release brought us features such as ajax order forms, twitter integration, customizable admin email templates, new addon features and much more.

Recently, WHMCS introduced their latest version, V4.4.1  Let’s take a quick look at some of the newest features to show how they will benefit both you and your clients.

Probably the most exciting features added are those that bring more optimization.  This is a feature that everyone can agree is beneficial, after all, who doesn’t like to get every last bit of performance out of their system!

For those who found the ajax order forms useful, there have been some improvements to this such as the ability to prevent orders when out of stock, custom client field support as well as fixes to the last version.

If you take advantage of the Multi-Language features, there is now Admin Area support with the ability to upgrade and downgrade.  Also in this area there are added invoicing features such as the ability to split and merge invoices, mass product/service updates, added options for credit card processing, updated PayPal language settings, as well as many other domain management and support system adds, fixes and improvements.

WHMCS is already a popular choice, not only here at LicenseCube, but globally.  If you haven’t gotten a chance to update to the latest version, you can do so by following these steps:

• Begin by taking a backup of your database through a tool such as phpMyAdmin
• Unzip the contents of the zip file download to a folder on your computer
• Remove the images/logo.jpg file to avoid overwriting your customised logo
• Upload the files to your existing installation folder overwriting any existing files
• Visit the admin area to access the upgrade script
• Accept the license agreement
• Confirm you have backed up your database and click the upgrade button
• Once the script finishes loading, delete the install folder
• Before the upgrade is completed, you must update your custom template with any new or changed template files
