Contact Enhanced is still compatible with Joomla 1.6 and 1.7, however future versions will only be compatible with Joomla 1.5, 2.5 and 3.x+ because we are removing deprecated functions and adding MS SQL compatibility.
If you want Contact Enhanced for Joomla 1.6 OR 1.7 and have a valid license, please go to Support -> Contact form and ask for Contact Enhanced 2.5.9 which is the last version fully compatible with Joomla 1.6 and 1.7.
Please do not forget to provide your username, so we can find your payment in our system.

After 3 years of heavy coding, Joomla 1.6 was a major upgrade released in January 2011 and 6 months later Joomla! announced Joomla 1.7 Alpha release and there has been a lot of confusion regarding Joomla versions and users might be wondering whether they should upgrade from Joomla! 1.5.
This is how the development plan for coming Joomla core versions look like. Based on that it might be easier for you to make judgements whether and when to upgrade or build new sites in J1.6 for you or for your clients. The developer portal outlines the new development strategy that is now in process: http://developer.joomla.org/strategy.html
