Supported and unsupported Asterisk versions

Overview: We have worked with nearly all the various distributions of Asterisk & FreePBX: Elastix; PBX In A Flash (PIAF), AsteriskNow, and Trixbox and of course vanilla asterisk.

Supported versions

Versions 1.4 = Partial Support

  • Version 1.4 uses AMI v1.0, we will gladly work with customers who have this version. The basic features work, such as direct calls to extensions. Some features like ring groups and queues will need to be tested further.

Versions 1.6, 1.8, 11.x = Fully Supported

  • Version 11 is very popular with our customers, approximately 30% of our customers use it.

Unsupported versions

NOT SUPPORTED: Versions 12.x, 13.x, 14.x, 15.x, 16.x, 17.x, 18.x, and future releases

If you were to ask which we’d recommend for a new install, it would be PBX In A Flash, Purple (Asterisk 1.8 or Version 11). Mainly because these are the versions we have tested the most internally and most of our customers have found success with.
