No, that is incorrect with regard to encoder versions. A newer ionCube Loader should be able to run previous versions of encoded files. So a version 10 ionCube Loader should be able to run any encoded file that version 6.1.0 of the Loader can. What must match is the PHP version on the server on which you run encoded files. So if you have a PHP 7.0 server then you should use the ionCube v10 (or v6.1.0) Loader for PHP 7.0. That Loader can run files produced by the version 9 ionCube Encoder for PHP 5.6. Those encoded files will also run on a PHP 5.6 system with a v10 (or v6.1.0) Loader for PHP 5.6. We have, however, asked WHMCS to verify that their application works with the version 10 ionCube Loader, which it should do as I previously stated. At present encoded files cannot run on PHP 7.1. To run on PHP 7.1 files will need to be encoded with the next release of the ionCube Encoder. Alastair ionCube

Please could you let us at ionCube know what error you are getting when you try to run WHMCS with ionCube Loader version 10 as version 10 should run WHMCS as well as version 6. Please post in our Support Help Desk at https://support.ioncube.com Alastair ionCube

Hi, This should be completely unnecessary as an ionCube version 10 Loader should be able to run any ionCube-encoded file that an earlier version could run. So, for example, Loader version 10.0.0 for PHP 7.0 should be able to run WHMCS just as well as version 6.0.2, say. With bug fixes it should, in fact, be more reliable. If there are any issues running WHMCS with ionCube Loader version 10 then please let us know as soon as possible at our support Help Desk at https://support.ioncube.com Alastair ionCube
