Upgrade Steps

Upgrading WHMCS is easy. To upgrade to V5.0, simply follow the steps below:

  1. Begin by taking a backup of your database using a tool such as phpMyAdmin
  2. Now download the latest WHMCS version either from our client area (http://wiki.whmcs.com/Upgrading#Downloading_the_Latest_Version) or from your web host license provider
  3. Next, unzip the contents of the WHMCS zip file download to a folder on your computer
  4. Now if you have customised your WHMCS admin folder name, you should rename the admin folder in the new files to match
  5. Upload the new files to your existing installation folder replacing any existing folders & files
  6. Visit the admin area as you normally would to login and you should then see the upgrade script
  7. Accept the license agreement
  8. Tick to confirm you have backed up your database and click the upgrade button
  9. Once the updates finish, delete the install folder from your server

These steps can be used to upgrade from any version of WHMCS from V3.3 & later.

The upgrade is now completed. The only thing left to do is update your custom templates if you have any with the new and changed template files for the new version. See below for details.

Template Changes

In Version 5.0, the previously named "default" template theme was renamed to "classic". "Default" is now a new & updated template style being introduced in Version 5.

New Language File Lines

If you are using a custom language file, then the new language file lines introduced in Version 5.0 can be found below the "# Version 5.0" line in each language file.
