We would like to inform about an important upcoming change affecting Layer2 Cloud Connector Professional Software Assurance (SA).
What is changing?
Starting June 1, 2026, Software Assurances for the Professional Edition can no longer be renewed. All existing Software Assurance customers will have the option to transition to a subscription-based model.
What does this mean for Professional licenses?
Existing Layer2 Cloud Connector Professional licenses remain valid. Customers may continue using the software without interruption. However, without converting to a subscription:
➤ Upgrades will no longer be available
➤ License migration or relocation will no longer be possible
Why are we making this change?
We are moving to a more modern and industry-standard licensing model. This transition enables us to:
➤ Simplify our product structure
➤ Deliver continuous improvements
➤ Provide clearer pricing and feature alignment
Which product is being replaced?
Software Assurance for the Professional Edition will be replaced by Layer2 Cloud Connector Standard Subscription.
When will the transition happen?
The change will take effect at your next renewal date, beginning June 1, 2026.
Pricing & Transition Benefit
To support this transition, customers receive 30% discount for the first subscription year.
If customers do not agree with this change, they may cancel the subscription at any time before the start of the next billing period.
If no cancellation is made, the Software Assurance will automatically convert to a Layer2 Cloud Connector Standard Subscription.
Important Information Regarding Cancellation in FastSpring
