On one hand they seem to be saying that links/codes will work, but that statement appears to be contradiction of sorts. I think the links he's referring to in that statement may be something on the sponsor's end, such as form links. That's me guessing.

For now, sponsors can request to have their program transitioned to the new system. Eventually, I'd assume that there will be a forced migration for the "all change is bad" stragglers. It seems as if they are intentionally (and very diplomatically) allowing the paysite owners to create the pace of the transition rather than setting a public deadline. Of course, this will allow CCBill to repair any unexpected bugs at a workable rate rather than flipping a switch on every site and suddenly realizing that one bug is mucking everything for everyone and creating panic throughout the industry. If a sponsor has a bunch of specialized tools that based on the old system, it could create some headaches.

Scraped from another board:

If we wanted to utilize this new system we would have to do everything via CCBill's new system and the tools etc will then be all through there?

But if you wanted, for example, to register those marketing materials with us to be able to track them through our new WMS marketing materials reports and make them available to new affiliates through our marketing materials screens, then yes, they would need be registered through WMS, and likely links would need to change.
