The system supports switching from one version to another, but only in one direction. You can only switch to a version with a larger set of features, for example, from "BILLmanager Startup" to "BILLmanager Corporate".

To upgrade from BILLmanager Startup to BILLmanager Corporate:

  1. Log in to your client area.
  2. Go to Products/ServicesISPsystem licenses → select a license → Change tariff.
  3. In the server console, run the script:
/usr/local/mgr5/sbin/billmgr-upgrade.sh corporate
CODE

The script will delete the repository used for the previous version, add the new version repository and install the product on your server. Additional tables will be created in the database.

Note:

After you have upgraded your BILLmanager version, you will need to buy a Corporate license.
