This section describes three scenarios for the introduction of new Abiquo billing.

After upgrade to 6.1.x and before you activate new billing

In Abiquo 6.1, we introduced the new on-premise billing, which uses the same property as public cloud billing to configure its cron job. We also introduced the new price factors, which have a cron check.

If you are using old billing, you should disable new billing in Configuration view as part of the upgrade process.
