In order to ensure continuous improvement of 8x8's Work for Desktop application, older versions are retired as per EOL policy. Learn why it matters here.
The Bria 5.0 softphone has been End-of-Life (EOL) since 2021 and is no longer supported (i.e., not certified for use with Windows 11 or macOSs 12 Monterey and above). The developers of Bria (Alianza, formerly Counter Path), have stopped selling licenses for Bria 5.0. Based on these facts, 8x8 is discontinued resale and support of Bria 5.0. The recommended alternative is 8x8 Work for Desktop.
Due to new telecommunications regulations in Taiwan, 8x8 and all other global providers will no longer be able to support local Taiwan phone numbers after March 6, 2025. As a result, your current Taiwan phone numbers will be decommissioned on this date.
