New Features
Strengthening password policy for enhanced security
As part of our ongoing commitment to security and compliance, we are updating our password policy to address vulnerabilities identified during recent penetration testing. The previous policy allowed passwords as short as seven characters and enforced certain complexity requirements.
IMPORTANT All users must ensure their passwords comply with the minimum complexity requirements. Passwords that do not meet these requirements must be updated to align with the new security standards.
What’s changing?
-
Minimum Password Length Increased: The minimum required password length will be raised from seven to 12 characters.
-
Complexity Requirements Maintained:
-
Exclude spaces and single quotes (').
-
Include at least one special character.
-
Contain characters from at least two of the following groups: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers.
-
Be different from your previous 5 passwords.
-
Why this matters?
-
Improved Security: Longer passwords are significantly harder to crack, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
-
Compliance: Aligns with OWASP and industry best practices for password security.
-
Reduced Predictability: We are reviewing positional restrictions on special characters to avoid predictable password patterns.
What will be required of users?
-
New Passwords: When creating a new account or changing your password, you must now use a password that is at least 12 characters long and meets the complexity requirements.
Centralized license management
The new centralized license management UI for Autotask is a major enhancement that merges the resource and license management pages into a single, unified experience. This update introduces a modernized interface for managing all license types—including Resource, and Co-managed users—directly from one page. It also supports the new Contractual Minimum Quantity (CMQ) licensing model, replacing the previous High Watermark Pricing approach. Refer to CMQ faqs for more information.
Why is this helpful?
| Benefit/Impact | Description |
|---|---|
| Unified Management | Manage all licensed users (Resource, Co-managed, and API) from a single, streamlined page—no more switching between multiple admin screens. |
| Flexible Licensing | The new CMQ model allows you to flexibly add users above your contractual minimum as your business grows, with clear visibility into overages for billing. |
| Improved Visibility | Instantly see how many licenses of each type are in use, with real-time tiles and a detailed table. |
| Simplified Navigation | All previous admin links for user and license management now redirect to this new page, ensuring a consistent and efficient workflow. |
| No Forced Deactivation | If you exceed your contractual minimum, users are not automatically deactivated. Overage is tracked and reported for billing, giving you more control and flexibility. |
e-Invoicing support for the European Union (EU)
Autotask is adding e-invoicing support to comply with the EU’s VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) directive, ensuring structured, machine-readable invoices that meet regulatory standards while improving compliance, efficiency, and cross-border transparency.
IMPORTANT Enable e-invoicing only when Autotask is the authoritative invoicing system. If your environment uses an integrated financial platform for invoice management, delegate e-invoice generation to that system to maintain data integrity. Do not activate e-invoicing if invoice numbers are modified or reassigned outside Autotask after initial creation, as this can introduce discrepancies between systems.
What does the new e-invoicing feature mean?
If your organization operates in the EU, you may soon be required by law to submit invoices electronically in a standardized format.
The new e-invoicing feature in Autotask helps you comply with these evolving government mandates (such as the EU’s VAT in the Digital Age/ViDA directive) without needing to manage separate systems or manual processes.
Once enabled, Autotask can automatically generate and submit e-invoices for your customers who require them.
| Benefit/Impact | Description |
|---|---|
| Regulatory Compliance | Meet EU and local government e-invoicing mandates easily. |
| Automation | Reduce manual invoice handling and errors. |
| Customer-Specific Controls | Enable e-invoicing only where needed. |
| Status Visibility | Track e-invoice delivery and acceptance in real time. |
| Future-Proofing |
Be ready for upcoming legal requirements in your country or region. |

-
Voiding (credit) invoices and email-only options (planned for future releases).
-
Electronic Invoice (e-invoice): The XML representation of an invoice based on the EN 16931 standard for structured invoice data.
Routing Network (Exchange Network): The Routing Network ensures that the submitted invoice is routed to the correct receiving party based on Tax/VAT ID or local Business Registration ID. In most countries the Routing Network is PEPPOL. Other Routing Networks exist and associate to specific countries. The initial release will support PEPPOL. Routing network examples are:
-
PEPPOL for most of EU.
-
DFN for Canada and US.
VAT reporting portals (Exchange Network): VAT reporting portals are based on the destination country and are Independent of the Routing Network. The Routing Agent will automatically submit to these portals where required by law. Examples are:
-
FINVoice for Finland, (requires manual submission)
-
SDI for Italy for VAT reporting
-
Verifact for Spain
Routing Agent: Invoices have to be submitted to various Routing Networks based on the source country and destination country of an invoice. Autotask utilizes a 3rd party routing agent to ensure that every invoice generated is routed to the appropriate Routing Network and Tax Authority.
TaxID / VATID: The Tax/VAT ID of an organization that uniquely identifies the organization. This ID is used for TAX reporting purposes. In Europe, most VAT IDs always start with a country code. Examples are:
-
Germany: DE123456789
-
Belgium: BE123456789
Legal ID: A business registration ID that is unique to an organization. This ID may be required in addition to the Tax/VAT ID or be the same. Whether this ID is required is determined by the local government. Example ID names are:
-
Belgium: NE
-
Italy: IVA
-
France: SIREN
