IP PBX Upgrading Tools Released

Introduction

3CX recently released Update 6 of v15.5 including major SSL security updates and great new features within the web client and smartphone apps.

Due to the importance of this update, those using the IP PBX can update to this service pack regardless of whether they have 3CX maintenance.

Users of older IP PBX versions (15.0 and 15.5 users) are now able to update with ease thanks to tools prepared by 3CX.

Download the 3CX Windows Updater and log in to the installation where 3CX is installed.

After you have extracted the downloaded file, right click the file “3CX WinUpdater.exe” and select Run as Administrator.

Note: Your 3CX services will stop and start multiple times and timing will depend on how many service packs need to be installed.

You will see the window below as the PBX is updating, keep this open.

For those with 3CX installed on Linux, connect to your installation via SSH and switch into “root”.

Note: You may use ‘sudo su’ to do this.

Enter the following commands to upgrade:

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

Note: If your current installation is below v15.5 SP1, the commands must be executed twice as the recent updates are in a different repository.

With Active Maintenance Renewal

Follow the normal upgrade path to reach the latest service pack update.

Expired Maintenance Renewal

If you do not currently have 3CX Maintenance, you will have to contact the 3CX customer service team.
