Important notes for Starship v9 customers

• FedEx will retire all API transactions on May 31, 2012. This means you can no longer ship FedEx packages in StarShip v9 after this date.
• Effective June 1, 2011, FedEx has retired the API subscription transaction. This means that you are now unable to add or re-subscribe FedEx accounts in StarShip v9.
• Support for StarShip version 9.9.92 was discontinued on 12-31-11 (version support matrix).
• StarShip v12 includes support for FedEx Web Services. This will give you uninterrupted FedEx shipping with added features such as FedEx SmartPost and Electronic Trade Documents.
• StarShip v12 has exclusive support for USPS Endicia giving you commercial discount pricing, expanded flat rate boxes and more. We have discontinued USPS Manifest and Metered Mail in v10 and higher.
• We understand that this is going to be a transition and that's why we strongly recommend planning your v12 migration now to avoid frustrating shipping delays when the May deadline arrives and FedEx no longer allows you to ship packages using your current method.
