VPASP V7 status for BigYellowZone Addons:
click here for details
Released: 8/25/2009 2:05:00 PM
We've decided to extend the discounting of the BYZ subscription services, where the initial fee element is reduced by the cost of BYZ Addons that you've purchased in the last 12 months. This relates to the subscription services of BYZ147, BYZ148, and BYZ149. The reduced price will be shown when you get to the confirm-order page (ie after you have entered your domain).
Released: 4/25/2009 10:45:00 AM
BYZ Subscription Services added! You can now subscribe to get addons, or hosting, or both. For people who have bought BYZ addons in the last 12 months, you can trade-in what you've spent on addons in the last 12 months against a reduction in the relevant initial-fee element of the subscription service. This trade-in offer will only last for the next 30 days, so trade-in now! This trade-in relates to BYZ147, BYZ148, and BYZ149. See "subscription services" in the right-panel above or click on "services list" at the top. You'll get/see your discounted price of the subscription when you get to the final "confirm order" page (ie before you make payment, but after you've chosen your domain(s)). For example, if you've spent £120 on BYZ addons in the last 12 months, then you can get BYZ147 for just £37. If you've spent £200 on BYZ addons in the last 12 months then BYZ147 would only cost you £7. The prices concerned relate to prices excluding vat/tax and do not include installation cover/services. PLEASE NOTE: If you already have BYZ072/02 (Installation Cover) then that installation cover becomes invalid after you subscribe.
Released: 4/14/2009 2:00:05 PM

Released: 4/14/2009 2:00:00 PM

Upgrade fix applied. There was a problem when upgrading Backfilled BYZ licences, this has now been fixed, but if you upgraded on BYK prior to this news item being added then go into your "My Software" screen, and check if you have multiple versions of a given product for a given domain; if you have multiple versions then press the archive link on the old versions, then go to your license keys page and create a new license key file, then download that key file and upload it to your site.
Released: 10/8/2007 11:50:00 PM
Sub-Modules added to your software lists - We have now ensured that all of your sub-modules are now listed for your main modules on your software screen. This means that you can now upgrade/download either the main module, and/or the sub-modules. Our upgrading and purchasing procedures use "intelligent" bundling, whereby if you've upgraded/bought all the corresponding sub-modules then you'd automatically also be assigned all appropriate parent bundls, and if you buy/upgrade a bundle then it will automatically assign access to all the sub-modules as well. Checkout your "My Software" screen, as it may now be showing you additional/new sub-modules.
Released: 9/28/2007 8:15:00 AM
BYZ Interface Improved - We have now changed our sister site (bigyellowzone.com) so that you will only get directed to bigyellowkey when you checkout, and not each time you add an item to your cart. This means that you can continue freely shopping/browsing on bigyellowzone.com without having to jump between byk/byz sites for each item. Note that for upgrades you should always use bigyellowkey.com for browsing/purchasing, and not bigyellowzone.com.
Released: 9/25/2007 11:45:00 PM
Version History Displays - We've added a link on the product-codes on your "My Software" screen which will popup a printer-friendly page that displays all the product details and the full version history (ie all the release notes of all versions) so that you can now see if you want/need to upgrade specific modules.
Released: 9/23/2007 2:05:00 PM
We're Live ! - BigYellowKey.com has now become a live system. There might be some teething questions/problems following its release, so if you have any questions/problems then please do let us know.

,,,,,,,,
(ie there are 8 new arguments added to the end of the calls, all of which can be blank () but which do need to be added to the function call). Using blank values will mean that your existing functions will end up doing the same as they did before.
