You can configure the required licence through our website and pay securely by debit or credit card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Readers of this article can also receive <strong>10% off the displayed website licence price<\/strong> by using the dedicated link below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.it-communicationsltd.co.uk\/3cx-licensing\/?discount=73826251#3cx-licence-wizard\">Buy your 3CX licence online and receive 10% off<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dedicated link applies the 10% discount. Orders are checked before the licence is supplied, so purchase does not mean immediate automatic activation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Is a Licence-Only 3CX Purchase For?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A standalone 3CX licence is intended for organisations that want to run and manage the system using their own infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This could include businesses, IT departments, managed service providers and experienced administrators operating 3CX:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On an organisation\u2019s own server<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Within an existing virtual environment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On suitable on-premise infrastructure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Through a compatible public or private cloud platform<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As part of an independently managed communications environment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The licence-only route gives you control over the infrastructure while allowing you to purchase the required annual 3CX licence from a UK communications provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is particularly relevant when you already have your hosting, technical management, backups, security and connectivity arrangements in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Size 3CX Licence Do I Need?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3CX commercial licensing is based primarily on simultaneous-call capacity rather than purchasing an individual licence for every employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A simultaneous call is an active call taking place on the system at that moment. Depending on the configuration, this can include internal and external calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When choosing a licence, consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The number of users and extensions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The number of calls taking place during the busiest period<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Call queues and customer-service activity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Internal calling between extensions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conference and contact-centre requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expected business growth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The 3CX features and integrations required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The I.T Communications licence wizard uses your expected number of users to recommend a starting capacity. You should still consider your real peak calling patterns before completing your selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Select the Appropriate 3CX Edition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The online licence configurator presents the currently available 3CX licence choices and annual pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The appropriate edition depends on the capabilities your organisation requires. A business needing core PBX functionality may have different requirements from one using advanced queues, reporting, CRM integration, transcription or AI-assisted call handling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than selecting an edition based only on its name, check:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Required call-handling features<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Queue and reporting requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recording requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CRM or Microsoft integration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Administration and API requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AI agents, transcription or conversation analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resilience and failover requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Current 3CX feature availability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feature availability can depend on the selected edition, simultaneous-call capacity and current 3CX product terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.it-communicationsltd.co.uk\/3cx-licensing\/?discount=73826251#3cx-licence-wizard\">Configure your 3CX licence and claim the 10% article discount<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pay Securely by Debit or Credit Card<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have selected a licence-only configuration and provided the necessary business details, you can proceed to secure card payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Licence-only orders can be paid through the hosted debit and credit-card checkout presented by the website. The final checkout total includes VAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before a licence is supplied, I.T Communications will validate the submitted configuration, availability and order information. This protects against supplying an unsuitable or incorrectly configured licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Configurations that include additional services\u2014such as remote support, SIP trunks, telephone numbers or physical phones\u2014are treated as requests for review because those elements may require further technical or commercial validation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Not Included With a Licence-Only Purchase?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 3CX licence provides the right to use the applicable 3CX software edition within its defined terms. It should not be confused with a complete managed telephone service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unless separately selected and agreed, a licence-only purchase does not make I.T Communications responsible for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your physical or virtual server, cloud account or hypervisor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operating-system, network or firewall administration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Internet connectivity, backups or disaster recovery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Third-party SIP services, telephone numbers or number porting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Desk phones, headsets or other hardware<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Day-to-day administration of your PBX<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customers choosing this route should be comfortable managing the complete 3CX environment or have a suitably experienced IT provider responsible for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Optional 3CX Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to retain your own infrastructure but require help with the 3CX application, optional remote support can be requested through the licence configurator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The support requirement will be reviewed separately so that responsibilities are clearly defined. Remote 3CX support does not automatically transfer responsibility for your server, cloud platform, network, firewall or other third-party infrastructure to I.T Communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn more about our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.it-communicationsltd.co.uk\/3cx-support\/\">UK 3CX support services<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do You Also Need SIP Trunks or Telephone Numbers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 3CX phone system requires suitable voice connectivity to make and receive external calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you do not already have this in place, the configuration wizard allows you to indicate that you also require:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.it-communicationsltd.co.uk\/business-sip-trunks\/\">Business SIP trunks<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.it-communicationsltd.co.uk\/telephone-numbers\/\">UK business telephone numbers<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Number porting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inbound-call failover<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supported Yealink IP phones<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These additional elements require review and are not processed as an immediate licence-only card purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Would a Managed Hosted 3CX System Be More Suitable?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A licence-only purchase is not the best option for every organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you do not want to manage the server, hosting, platform updates, voice connectivity and ongoing technical environment yourself, a managed service may be more appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I.T Communications provides a complete <a href=\"https:\/\/www.it-communicationsltd.co.uk\/hosted-3cx-phone-system\/\">Hosted 3CX phone system<\/a> that brings together:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>3CX hosting and licensing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SIP connectivity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business telephone numbers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Number-porting coordination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>System configuration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Migration planning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ongoing UK support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose licence-only when you want responsibility for your own infrastructure. Choose Hosted 3CX when you want I.T Communications to provide and manage the wider service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I buy only a 3CX licence from I.T Communications?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. If you already have suitable infrastructure and intend to manage the system yourself, you can configure a standalone annual 3CX licence through the I.T Communications website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I pay for my 3CX licence by debit or credit card?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Eligible licence-only configurations can proceed to secure debit or credit-card payment through the hosted checkout presented by the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I receive the 10% discount?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the dedicated link in this article to open the 3CX licence wizard. The promotional link applies a 10% discount against the displayed website licence price, subject to validation and the applicable offer terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the 3CX licence supplied immediately?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The order and licence selection must be validated by I.T Communications before supply. Do not assume immediate or automatic activation until the order has been reviewed and accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is 3CX licensed per user?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commercial 3CX licensing is principally sized according to simultaneous-call capacity, with user or extension allowances also applying to different licence sizes. The wizard uses your expected user count to recommend a starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does a licence include hosting?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. The licence-only route is for customers providing and managing their own suitable server, virtual environment or cloud infrastructure. Our managed Hosted 3CX service is available separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does a licence include SIP trunks and telephone numbers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not automatically. SIP trunks, telephone numbers and number porting can be requested through the configurator, but they are separate services requiring validation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I add remote support?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. You can request optional remote 3CX support during configuration. The support scope and responsibilities will be confirmed before acceptance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Order Your 3CX Licence Online<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you already have your own infrastructure and only require a 3CX PBX licence, you can now configure the appropriate option and pay securely online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the dedicated article link below to receive <strong>10% off the displayed website licence price<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.it-communicationsltd.co.uk\/3cx-licensing\/?discount=73826251#3cx-licence-wizard\">Buy your 3CX licence key online and save 10%<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose your expected number of users, review the available licence options and submit your business details for final validation by I.T Communications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Already have your own server, cloud platform or on-premise 3CX installation?
