Expiry Date Question

[griffe]

Hello,

 

What role exactly does the expiry date play? Is it just so that I can see when a domain is expiring or does it effect the "Next Due Date" in any way?

 

For instance if the expiry date is 10/10/2010 and the next due date is 10/10/2008.. Upon invoice payment will WHMCS see that the domain is already registered through 2010 and not send a renewal request through the API??

 

Just want to know if it actually DOES anything?

 

Oh and a licensing addon? Matt your a ****'ing genius. I will be looking into this soon.

 

Thanks.

The invoice is based on the due date. Expiry date is...well, when the domain name stops working

Yeah... So the expiry date doesn't do anything right? Nothing WHMCS does is based on that date? Just for admin reference?

 

Any confirmation on this?

if the expiry date < today on teh cron it sets the domain to expired

 

in future versions clients will be denied the ability to *try* and renew expired domains (as for most tlds it fails), or will be charged extra to do so 9where the domain can be reclaimed) etc

 

you should keep it in line with the actual expiry date
