HOW TO ACTIVATE 3CX PHONE SYSTEM

Q: I tried to activate my 3CX Phone System Standard- 4SC and it gives me an unexpected error: LIC_ERR_FAILED_CERTIFICATE_CHECK. My 3CX version is: 12.5.39117.982 What should I do?

A: You will need to install a service pack for the license. Please follow these instructions in regards to that error. (The following content is from 3CX website.)

  • V10 users and below- Please upgrade to V11 for free. Your license key has been automatically upgraded to activate on V11. Version 11 can be download here. Perform a backup for your current system, uninstall 3CX Phone System and install Version 11. Use the restore option within the installation wizard to import your user data. Note: 3CX Phone System 11 is End Of Life and is not entitled to support.
  • V11 users- Please download the latest Service Pack from the 3CX Management Console. SP 4B, Build 30296. Once updated to this version you can re-activate your license key.
