  2. Go to Manage licence

  3. Click on Change package

  4. Choose the package you want to switch to

  5. On the following page, you’ll see an overview of the data you’ll keep and the data you'll lose when switching to a smaller package. 

    • You’ll need to check a box here to show us you understand what will happen to your data when you proceed. More information on these implications can be found in the third part of this article.

    • This data will be deleted, so please make sure you export all necessary data.

  6. In the next step you’ll see how much you’ll be billed on your next renewal. 


Next to downgrading your package, you can also decide to remove additional Boosters from your package. Find more information here.


When to switch


According to our Terms of Service we need the submitted form at least 15 days before your renewal date. You can find your renewal date in the top right-hand corner of your Teamleader Focus subscription page. You’ll be able to keep using the functionalities in your higher package until the renewal date.

From your renewal date onwards, you will no longer be charged for the previous package. The new package will be charged.

Implications


In the next part of this article you’ll find out which data/features you’ll lose exactly when you downgrade to a smaller package. As stated above, this data will be deleted, so please make sure you export all necessary data.


General implications


Shortcodes

Shortcodes containing features you’ll lose won’t work anymore: 

  • the data will not be filled in on your document 

  • the placeholder will show the textual shortcode itself ($SHORTCODE$)

Segments  

When downgrading from a GROW package to a SMART package for example, you won’t be able to use the feature ‘Subscriptions’ anymore. If you for instance had a segment on company level using the following rule ‘Has linked active subscriptions’, then the segment won’t work anymore:

  • In the drop down of your segments list, an exclamation mark next to the segment name will be shown

  • A banner will be shown with the info that the segment contains one or more invalid rules 

  • The invalid rule(s) will be indicated

Exports   

The removed data / features will not be available in exports.

Integrations    

  • No integration will be uninstalled by Teamleader Focus - you as a user should uninstall the integrations yourself; 

  • However, integrations linked to removed features/data will not have access to Teamleader Focus anymore and therefore will not work.

  • The data in the integrations will not be deleted

  • For the integration with Twilio this means that the numbers are deleted in Teamleader Focus and are freed up to be taken by other people


Multiple company entities

If you are currently on a package with multiple company entities and want to switch to a package that does not include company entities, the entities and the linked settings will be deleted (e.g. entity signatures, document templates, …). Items linked to the entities other than the default one will not be deleted but cannot be used (edited, sent) until they are relinked to the remaining default entity: 

  • If a deal is linked to an archived entity, it can be updated, but new projects, quotations, invoices or other items cannot be created for that deal.
  • If a quotation or work order is linked to an archived entity, it can be updated but it cannot be sent.
  • If an invoice or credit note is linked to an archived entity and is not booked yet, it can be updated but it cannot be booked or sent.
  • If an invoice or credit note is linked to an archived entity and is booked, it cannot be updated or sent.
  • Active subscriptions linked to an archived entity will be deactivated. It won't be possible to reactivate them afterwards. 
  • Products linked to archived entities can be updated.


Make sure to mark the company entity that you want to keep as the default entity before switching to a package without entities. After changing to a package without company entities, all the other entities will be deleted.
