Hello Rick,

Ok, just say this post, we thought we had until March 1ist, so by the 15th of February. Since we have 4 websites plus 5 dev sites. When will miva release that 9.0001 with the bug fixes. On the couple of miva 9 dev sites only one was fixed with a trouble ticket, something about custom fields. Miva Support said the update will fix this automatically, not to mention a few other issues that makes it hard to work on so many websites at once. Will it be released soon or should I submit 8 support tickets. We don't want to be hit with all these compliance fees, since most of our sites are still on M5.5

Thanks

Here's the original letter from a year ago: http://www.miva.com/non-compliance-fee

Re: v9 release and the Non-Compliance Fee

The deadline is actually conceptually hard set (from the original announcement).

It's 30 days on a security release (which this is not and we've [knock on wood] never had to issue one).

And it's 90 days for a General Software release (this exactly mimics the PCI-DSS rules for keeping your software up to date).

So Version 9's NCF date is February 12, 2015.

Yes what is the deadline?... i was going to update yesterday, yet i forgot the wolf paw fraud mod needed a number change. Following the instructions, i did not see the field that listed 5 to change to 9. So i took screen shot and fired in a ticket on that with a few other concerns.

So has an official hard date been announced for the "Non Compliance Fee" for stores not upgraded to the v9 release of Miva Merchant? I need to mark my calender. TIA

Re: v9 release and the Non-Compliance Fee

NCF's are not version specific if you will. PCI has a specific requirement that we're enforcing via a penalty.

All production software must be updated within 90 days of general release or 30 days of a specifically marked security update.

So since you're on 4.x, you're subject to the NCF.

If you were to upgrade to PR8 U12 today, then the NCF would stop until 90 days after 9.0.0 comes out. Then if you haven't updated by then, you'd get the fee again.

The good news for you is that once you're on 5.0 or higher, updates become "simple". Going from PR8 U12 to 9.0.0 is a click of a button without a site rebuild.

The "painful" upgrade is from 4.x to 5.0+

Looking forward to upgrade, finally -...not the not the pricing scheme ;)

I don't understand, I have been paying this fee for months!

While the new features will be waiting for you to implement - getting your brain retrained to the new admin may take a few "minutes". Years of staring at the MM5.5 admin will take a bit time to get past, but much like that move from an MM4 admin, once you get used to it you'll almost forget your way around older admins.

Re: v9 release and the Non-Compliance Fee

No, it doesn't force on anything.

Awesome thanks!

Re: v9 release and the Non-Compliance Fee

Correct....as long as the default upgrade doesn't force any of the new features.

That's true, but that's on your own timeline.

Re: v9 release and the Non-Compliance Fee

I'm imagining though, the transition from discount modules to the built in modules (coupons, discounts, sales)....will require a bit of code changes to reflect on the PROD, CTGY, and BASK pages.

That's true, but that's on your own timeline.
