How Long You Really Have — By Yeastar's Own Policy
There is no drop-dead date printed on the box, so here is the arithmetic instead. Yeastar's published end-of-life policy gives one year of critical bug fixes after end-of-sale, then best-effort patches for four more years. For the S100 and S300, end-of-sale was 1 July 2022 — which puts the end of even best-effort support at mid-2027, less than a year from now.
"Best effort" means exactly what it sounds like: fixes if the ageing architecture allows one, spare parts through RMA only and subject to remaining inventory. Your system will not switch off on a date. It will simply become the only unsupported box in your comms room — while the platform that replaced it gets new releases every quarter. That is the whole case. No drama required.
What Actually Carries Over — And What We Rebuild
The fear that stops most migrations is losing what took years to set up. Here is the honest split. Yeastar's official migration tool exports your extensions, your SIP trunks and your inbound and outbound routes from the S-Series into a configuration file that restores onto any P-Series — appliance, Software Edition or Cloud. Your licensed Etisalat or du SIP trunks — TDRA (formerly TRA) regulated — re-register on the new system, so every published number and DID stays exactly where your customers saved it.
Your IP phones re-provision rather than migrate: Yealink, Fanvil and other standard SIP handsets are re-pointed to the new system with plug-and-play provisioning, and your desks keep the phones they already know. What the tool does not carry — custom prompts, time conditions, integrations, the fine detail — is rebuilt by hand before cutover. That part is precisely the service. As an authorized Yeastar distributor in Dubai, we stage the entire new system in parallel while your S-Series keeps running untouched.
Two Migration Paths — Both First-Class
Every S-Series has two destinations, and we install both every week. Path A — where we point most migrations — retires the box cycle entirely: the P-Series Software Edition on your own server or virtual machine, licensed for exactly the capacity you need, from 100 to 10,000 extensions. Path B is the like-for-like appliance swap: same comms-room discipline, modern platform underneath. The official migration tool carries your configuration to either one, and free Linkus mobile and desktop apps come with every plan on both paths.

Five Steps, One Evening, Zero Lost Calls
Step one, a free site audit — we document your extensions, trunks, routes and phone models, on site or over a screen share. Step two, an exact AED quote covering the new system, the migration and the cutover, so there are no surprise lines later. Step three, we stage the complete P-Series in parallel: configuration restored through the official tool, the hand-rebuilt settings finished, every extension tested — while your S-Series carries on working, untouched. Step four, the cutover itself, scheduled after hours: trunks re-register, phones re-provision, and most single-site systems are done in one evening — staff leave on the old system and arrive on the new one. Step five, seven days of hyper-care, then the option of an annual maintenance contract from AED 1,500 to 5,000 per year depending on system size — Monday to Saturday, 8 AM to 6 PM support from our Dubai team.
