As a follow up to the CCBill Client email notification which was distributed in early August, tomorrow (Tuesday, October 24, 2006) we will implement a change in the numbering convention of our Credit Card Subscription Identification (ID) Numbers. Tomorrow's change will affect Credit Card transactions, and is especially important if your website(s) and/or system scripts are written to include our CCBill Subscription ID numbers.

PLEASE NOTE: This change will NOT influence the historical subscription and reservations ID's prior to tomorrow's update.


The following CCBill Client accessed systems will be affected by this change:


1) System5 Web Admin
2) Client Affiliate System
3) DataLink Subscription Management System
4) Subscription Notification Systems (Email, Background & Approval Posts)
5) Subscription Upgrade System

With this change, CCBill Subscription ID's will support the following new format:



0006100101000000001 - First 2 Digits are the Station ID

0006100101000000001 - Digits 3-4 represent the last 2 digits of the current year

0006100101000000001 - Digits 5, 6 & 7 represent the Day of the Year

0006100101000000001 - Digit 8 is the Day of the Week (1=Monday, 2=Tuesday,3=Wednesday, 4=Thursday, 5=Friday, 6=Saturday, 7=Sunday)
