CCBill drops wms....

[RawAlex]

Any good migration has a way to handle "old" data and "old" linking. If a program migrates from old ccbill to new ccbill, they should be able to track the links and reassign them as needed. Not having a feature like this is painful for affiliates.

I should point out though that at least in the short run, this can be good for program owners, who can treat all that old ccbill traffic as "no referal" traffic and enjoy the sales. I know it isn't most people's intentions, but I am sure more than one program profited from this changeover.

A lookup and conversion table isn't a big deal, CCBill already controls the traffic (because the old system clicks through them), I cannot imagine why they wouldn't have a translation service. Perhaps it is something that program owners don't care about, so CCBill never considered it.

Not the case here at all, both systems were still functioning even after a program migrated, the two were just not integrated.
