Update Tutorials

How-to guides for checking for updates, supported update methods, and other tasks for updating WHMCS.




Updating WHMCS

You can check for and apply updates to your self-hosted WHMCS installation from the Admin Area using the automatic updater, or configure unattended automatic updates to apply maintenance releases on a schedule.


Unattended Automatic Updates

For self-hosted WHMCS installations, you can apply maintenance releases automatically on a schedule that you set, back up the files that the update will replace, and restore your previous version if the update fails.


Legacy Module Removal

When you update WHMCS, the system will attempt to delete unused legacy modules. This helps to prevent problems due to older PHP code.
