Class of Service module Maintenance Expired

@BlazeStudios

But you are shutting off GUI access as well.

Notwithstanding OP’s current module situation – since corrected – GUI access is blocked on a module-by-module basis only for forbidden licenses i.e. those versions which did not exist until after your support maintenance expired.

@BlazeStudios

the module you have licensed to use completely for 25 years.

Notwithstanding OP’s current module situation – since corrected – you may continue to use the version of the module that was available during your support maintenance period for the duration of the original license length in question.

@BlazeStudios

Sangoma is now forcing people to maintain support renewals if they want to keep their modules functioning as is. Don’t pay, your module stops functioning as expected.

Notwithstanding OP’s current module situation – since corrected – we are not using the force in this way at all. It would be more accurate to say:

Don’t pay, your module stops keeps functioning as expected shipped. But until you pay, you won’t be able to upgrade to the latest versions with exciting new features, compatibility improvements and/or important security updates.

For more background, please review some recent blog posts on the module expiry matter that were aggregated in to this forum topic a fortnight ago:

Softphone access is changing as module licenses expire

This blog post also builds on the forum post Expired softphone license changes and related previous blog posts, including New Commercial License Section for FreePBX / PBXact and Avoid walking the plank with expired modules.

…as well as the below more historically distant forum topic – which largely still accurately represents official Sangoma mirror policy:

Issue Tracker on the support board not working

Yes the software license is 25 years but you get support and upgrades for the first year included and after that you have to renew maint on the modules. That has always been the case but only last year did it stop you from upgrading modules without the maint contract. You can renew the maint from inside FreePBX module admin or in the portal under the reports tab.
