Transfer .co.uk to existing client without renewing?

[LeonardChallis]

I have a pretty specific use-case and I'm not sure if it's possible.

 

A client has a hosting package with us, but no domains. When setup, it was hosting only, and they now have two web sites with the domain and an addon domain set in cpanel. Now they want to move the two domains to us. .co.uk domains are free to transfer to another registrar (using the IPS_TAG not an EPP) but WHMCS seems to want to renew them for an extra year. I simple want to transfer the two .co.uk domains over to our registrar (we're using ENOM) and have them applied in the client's account, linked up to the hosting/registrar modules correctly. This shouldn't cost them any money because it's a free transfer and we don't want to renew the period just yet. Is this technically possible?

 

If not, and there are other workaround like transferring to ENOM manually then adding the domains after or something like that then please let me know and/or link me to some relevant documentation. So far I've not been able to find what I wanted.

 

Many thanks

what I would do is transfer the domain(s) outside of WHMCS, e.g just contact the current registrar to make an IPSTAG change to eNom.

 

then in WHMCS, I would add the domain(s) manually.
