3. When installing Expense Tracker For WHMCS for the first time, you have to rename the 'license_RENAME.php' file.

The file is located in 'your_whmcs/modules/addons/ProductFreeTrialManager/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'.

4. In order to configure your license key, you have to edit the previously renamed 'license.php' file.

Enter your license key between the quotation marks as presented on the following screen. You can find your license key in our client area → 'My Products'.

Tips

1. Free trials currently can be applied to products and services, the module does not work with addons or domains.

Common Problems

1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.
2. We do not recommend using the Product Free Trial Manager For WHMCS with the following modules:
  • Payment Gateway Charges For WHMCS
  • Recurring Contract Billing For WHMCS
  • Resellers Center For WHMCS
  • Multibrand For WHMCS

Integration between these modules is hampered due to specific features of each one of them and their individual work flow.
We are continually working on eliminating these limitations wherever possible.
