Yes. Opening Hours PRO ships as a single download that runs on Joomla 5 and Joomla 6. The module follows Joomla's namespacing and service provider patterns, so an update to the next major Joomla version is just a regular extension update for you. Older versions for Joomla 2,3,4 are still available in the customer area for legacy sites, but they no longer receive feature updates. - ### Can I install one license on multiple client sites? Yes, that is the entire point. One PRO license covers **unlimited installations**. Build for ten clients, install on ten sites, get updates on all of them. There is no domain registration, no machine ID check and no email when you migrate a site to a new server. This is why agencies and freelancers tend to skip the single PRO and go straight for the Bundle: the same logic applies to every other extension in it. - ### How do recurring exceptions work? Do I need to set King's Day every year? No. When you add an exception (Christmas Day, King's Day, New Year), you can tick the **Recurring** option. From then on the module applies the exception every year on the same date, automatically, until you remove it. For non-recurring closures (a one-off company outing, a renovation week) you leave the option off and the exception expires after that day. - ### I see an error after publishing the module Check if you find an answer in the [documentation](https://www.joomill-kiosk.com/index.php?Itemid=4770) first or [send me a question](https://www.joomill-kiosk.com/index.php?Itemid=4452) - ### What happens after my year of updates and support ends? The module keeps working. Forever. PRO is not a SaaS, there is no kill switch. After 12 months you simply stop receiving new versions and email support unless you renew. Renewals are 75% of the original price as a thank-you for sticking around.  ## Ready to show your visitors when you're open? Joomla sites already do.
