I am only going to be running it on localhost mainly because I do not want other people trying to purchase somehow?
Other than that hopefully it is free because I need it free for the moment so I can do this testing, also I'll need the download.

a developers license would be free, but in order to get one, you already need to have a license direct from WHMCS... catch-22 Smile

therefore, the only legal way to do what you want would be to purchase a license from WHMCS - although ironically, if you do that, then you won't need to get a developers license. :-P

you could buy & try it for 30 days, and if it's not suitable for your needs, contact WHMCS for a refund.

Can't understand. To test Themes and other stuff, means that you must buy them before. How you'll spend money to buy themes and addons, while you haven't decided yet if you'll use WHMCS or not?

Sadly, WHMCS does not have a monthly addon price for the license fees they only have now. I could see the one off prices when they sold owned licenses, but now it's kind of redundant. Maybe WHMCS could consider changing that too. Since they changed the price.

I know it. I had the owned licens, plus projects, plus license manager, plus mobile apps, plus chat and I sold all of them 2years ago for just $250. And now I'm in monthly plan Sad

If you have a server, surely you can afford a month of WHMCS, no?

why would you get rid of an owned license??

they can have my owned license when they can pry it from my cold dead hands.

Or when they "pull a Kayako" and make renewals so expensive and unpalatable that you have no choice.

And when that happens WHMCS will lose clients. Hundreds if not thousands of them.

Kayako committed self-murder in the process as well. You can't-do that if you release a buggy software, unstable and that has nothing but problems. Almost every company I know that used Kayako in the past is not using them anymore. I wonder why...

I stopped using Kayako (unlimited license) a lot of time before they even announced all those changes. Also, I would never consider a software like as a cloud service. There is way too much sensitive business data on the support system. I'm sure a lot of companies can't even use that for compliance reasons.]]> I need a WHMCS Developers Licence for testing purposes on my server, I need it to test out themes and other stuff when I actually buy WHMCS.

or should i use a subdomain as http://www.management.mydomain.com and install it right in the root folder of that?

thank you for your time

Where you install it is up to you. If you intend on using WHMCS as your whole site, use the main domain and root folder. If you intend to build a site around WHMCS, then use a sub-folder or sub-domain.

It all depends on your own business needs.

Thanks Andrew

is ther anything else in general to keep in mind when choosing the structure? my plan is yet to build a site around WHMCS, i dont really have a Picture of how it will wok or look like if i use just WHMCS.]]> im quite new to WHMCS, setting up a wbhosting part of my Company, when installing WHMCS is ther anything to Think about wether I install it in a folder under http://www.mydomain.com/xx/WHMCS

Can the clients register Subdomains on my main domain?
Can he have the option to choose between His domain, or Subdomain on my domain? How?
I want to disable the option to register a domain, i just need an option for him to use his own domain on the free hosting, or use a subdomain..
Is it possible to offer several domains, so he can choose on which one he want to create his subdomain? how?

Thanks.

Thanks for your interest in WHMCS.

All these options are available to you in the WHMCS software. You can configure which subdomains to offer customers on the orderform on a per-product basis.

If you do not wish to offer domain registration or transfer, the options can be disabled in the General Settings, as can the option to allow customers to use their existing domains: https://docs.whmcs.com/Domains_Tab#Domai...on_Options]]> <![CDATA[WHMCS with plesk / whm on 1 licence]]> https://filetruth.com/forum/Thread-WHMCS-with-plesk-whm-on-1-licence Sat, 25 Nov 2017 06:32:14 +0000 https://filetruth.com/forum/Thread-WHMCS-with-plesk-whm-on-1-licence Hi guys,

We are looking to swap suppliers for our hosting. Our new supplier servers are linux running WHM/cPanel or Plesk.
WHM does not work for us as you cannot limit email mailbox sizes so we are going for plesk with WHMCS.

What i would like to know is, can WHMCS support both Plesk and WHM/cPanel with 1 licence all in 1 WHMCS login area? Our supplier gives us the option for a little extra £ to provide both control panels to customers but i cant seem to find an answer to this anyway and not keen on having to pay for 2 licences per month

ans=
Yes, it can. The server you connect to to provision accounts isn't connected to the license, it's just a matter of if WHMCS supports interacting with it.

http://docs.whmcs.com/Plesk

I know you can limit it at the customer cPanel level but you cant via WHM that I know off? We have a bunch of email only packages sold to customers and cant move onto WHM when you cant limit the mailboxes. Looks like it was requested about 3 years ago as a feature addon and getting some limelight recently but still who knows when it maybe out.

was wondering which WHMCS reseller is the best and cheapest to go with because I may be starting up a web hosting company soon...

ans=

There are none any longer, as WHMCS stopped allowing third party stand alone sales a while back.

You can only get a third party license from a host when you buy an account from them to host your site. It can only be used with that host.]]> q=

I need two solutions and I wonder if WHMC will let me do this.

1. I need a solution so that when you register your account you can immediately select a name for your mail account. WHMC + PLESK - will you be able to do something like this?

2. When registering a new domain and new account (WHMC + PLESK) - create a mailbox immediately for the newly registered domain.

Thank you in advance for your replies.

ans=
Yes, but it is not something WHMCS does out of the box. You need to create some hook or API in the WHMCS ordering process or after it, which executes the API call on Plesk servers to create the email account.

Customers orders with WHMCS, WHMCS is able to auto provision the Plesk account, this can be done with WHMCS by default. If you take the name in the order cart or you have it hard coded with a fixed name, you then create a hook in WHMCS that automatically executes after the Plesk account was created. This code would basically connect to the Plesk API and create the email account with what ever parameters you passed.

You would need to do some coding or hire a developer but this is definitely possible.]]> Hi masters,
