# cPanel 56 Upgrade Notes and New Features

| Issue: | cPanel 56 upgrade |
| --- | --- |
| Status: | cPanel 56 upgrades currently being deployed |
| Who is impacted? | VPS and Dedicated Hosting customers who have NOT turned off Automatic Updates |
| Estimated time until resolution: | Upgrades will be implemented over several days. |

This release will not be applied to shared hosting packages at this time.

Some changes to note with this release:

## Security Notifications via Email

The Security Advisor feature in WHM performs a basic security review of the server and will now send notifications to the server’s contact email. While we believe this is a good feature, it can identify issues that may pose little to no risk to your server’s security. At this time, there is no way to deactivate this feature. However, those emails can be ignored.

## Copy Multiple Accounts/Packages from Another Server with Transfer Tool

You can now copy multiple Accounts and Packages from another server with the Transfer Tool interface. This will be helpful for resellers who need to transfer a large number of accounts from their former host or from a different server.

What you will need to use the Transfer Tool:

1. SSH access to the remote server
2. root-level privileges with the su or sudo commands

## Convert Addon Domain to Account

This new interface allows you to convert an existing addond domain into a full cPanel account. This will be useful for customers who want to give full cPanel access to users who only maintain an addon domain.

## Review Transfers and Restores

This features provides you with an interface to review logs for server transfers and account restorations.
