Download
Download the latest version of WHMCS from https://download.whmcs.com/
Upgrade Process
WHMCS 8.0 and above requires PHP 7.2 or later. WHMCS 8.0 introduces support for PHP 7.4. Earlier versions of WHMCS do not support PHP 7.4.
Once you are running WHMCS 8, you can upgrade to PHP 7.4.
Automatic Updating
If you are running WHMCS 7.0 or later, you can use the built-in Automatic Update utility.
Go to Utilities > Update WHMCS to begin the process.
For more information about updating, refer to the Automatic Updater documentation.
Release Notes
Improved Email Reply Importing and Attachments
We have improved the support ticket system's handling of insecure email replies. This includes new settings at Configuration () > System Settings > General Settings that set how WHMCS handles importing for support tickets.
Plesk Usage Statistics
The list of servers at Configuration () > System Settings > Servers now displays services and either accounts or domains for Plesk servers.
Manage Stripe and PayPal® Disputes
You can now work with disputes directly within the WHMCS Admin Area, including viewing and closing disputes and submitting evidence. Currently, this feature supports the Stripe and PayPal payment gateways.
Improved Client Profile Summary
The client profile Summary tab at Clients > View/Search Clients > Client Profile now offers faster filtering, sorting, and pagination tools. This improves the ability to locate products, services, addons, domains, and quotes.
Automated WordPress® Hosting
You can now easily create WordPress hosting products with full WHMCS automation for cPanel and Plesk servers. Automatic provisioning installs WordPress when the product is purchased, and both clients and admins can create additional WordPress installations on the hosting account from the Client Area and Admin Area.
Friendly URLs for Products
You can now customize friendly URLs for each of your products. Once you have created one or more product URLs, you can easily view the number of visits for the active (most recent) product URL.
Affiliate Commission Reversals
New updates to the affiliate system help you reverse commission payments for disputed or refunded purchases. This ensures that affiliates won't receive a commission if your business did not retain the funds from a given purchase.
Improved SSL Certificate Validation
WHMCS now supports DNS validation for MarketConnect's DigiCert SSL certificates. Starting in October 2021, certificates will require wildcard certificate validation through either DNS or email. Our changes include interface improvements that allow clients and admins to access validation data for certificates that are waiting to be issued.
Deprecation and Removal Notices
