A new action has been created for 'Archive Orders'. It is disabled by default.
Current licensees should automatically be upgraded over the next few days.
If Active (or the run_once link is clicked) it will archive orders to newly created tables named 'ez_archive_[table name]' (I.e. ez_archive_orders).
We chose to ARCHIVE rather than DELETE because the merchant might want to access the old data or even restore it into the related orders tables in the future (which can be easily done via phpMyAdmin). Or, the merchant may decide to just truncate the tables effectively deleting the orders.
This will NOT affect inventory in any way.
The action has one parameter which is 'days'. By default it is set to 1825 which is 5 years. But you can set it to whatever you want.
If the action is Active and cron is setup to run, by default it will run once a year on Jan 1 at 5am (daily DB backups are set to run at 4am by default). It is suggested that your run this immediately after doing a database backup

And documentation is either in the Attachments tab on the above page or at: https://ez-ms.com/docs/ez_maint.pdf
Screen shots are available in the documentation.
The addon is still priced at:$34.99 (for a single store of cs-cart, MVE and additional storefronts are extra). There's no better deal around.
Note that this new functionality is not available in the V3 or V2 versions of the addon. But we do still support our work from way back then.
As a reminder, EZ Admin Helper is a single page of actions you can take for managing your site. You can also schedule all of these actions to run automatically. You can set whether to notify you by email of the results and you can disable the actions but still run them on demand by clicking a run_once link for each action.
It's all about making your life EZ'r! :-)
