All About 3CX Maintenance Agreements
.be3CX Phone System is commercial enterprise software and like all commercial enterprise software includes maintenance agreements.
Maintenance costs are yearly and must be purchased before your current maintenance period expires. A new installation comes with a one year maintenance agreement and begins when your license code is activated. The costs are industry standard and common with most other enterprise software, being roughly 20-25% of the initial license cost. A 3CX 8SC license in 2016 is roughly $1000 CAD and maintenance is about $250 / year.
With 3CX Phone System version 15, The 3CX phone system installation defaults to using a 3CX SSL encryption certificate to protect your remote communication with the server and also defaults to using a 3cx owned domain. For us at HELIA, this would be helia.3cx.us. Your maintenance agreement also maintains this infrastructure and so without a maintenance agreement in place, you will loose public access to the 3cx.us domain name as well a having a valid SSL security certificate.
