A base installation of FreePBX includes everything you need to build a fully featured phone system that’ll suit most basic needs. You can make and receive calls to and from a number of phone numbers and extensions. You’ve got auto attendants (IVRs), call groups (Ring Groups / Queues), logic processing (Call Flow Control / Time Conditions) and other handy apps.
Included Modules
Through our partnership with Sangoma, FreePBXHosting.com is able to provide customers with a license for the following extremely useful Commercial Add-On Modules at no cost with every VPS or Dedicated Server:
Endpoint Manager (25 Year License + 1 Year Maintenance)
a provisioning module that generates configurations and auto provisions dozens of phones from a huge range of vendors. Endpoint manager allows you to generate registration profiles and programmable button layouts for supported phones and accessories right through the FreePBX administration web interface.
System Admin Pro (25 Year License)
a utility module that provides control over a number of server functions and other system configurations. This module allows easy management of things like email setup, notifications, ports used by FreePBX, and VPN; plus it adds some diagnostic tools including a handy packet capture tool.

How does it work?
Commercial Add-On Modules purchases can be initiated right from within FreePBX. If you visit the menu item of a Commercial Add-On Module, you will be provided with a page that offers a brief description of the module and/or a link to purchase it. You can also navigate to Admin > Module Admin to list all available modules and Commercial Add-On Modules will have a “Buy” button next to them. Another option is through the Sangoma Portal store with the Deployment ID of your PBX. Many modules have multiple license terms available to provide pricing flexibility. Once your licensed is purchased, you can navigate to Admin > System Admin > Activation and click “Update Activation” to fetch all of your purchased Module licenses.
What is “Commercial Module Maintenance”?
On an activated FreePBX instance you can navigate to Admin > System Admin > Activation and you will see an overview of your FreePBX licenses. Commercial Add-On Modules will have a license term – usually either 25 years or 1 year, along with a “Free Updates” period. This latter period is the duration of your Commercial Module Maintenance and one year is typically included with the module license. This is a support agreement that entitles you to not only free updates, but technical support for the module from Sangoma. It is important to keep this current because not only will it ensure your module has the latest feature and security updates, but it helps support the ongoing development of FreePBX. To renew your Commercial Module Maintenance you can follow this link to review the process.
