Dear Customer,

We previously provided you with the announcement that our LightCMS Service was reaching end of life and that we would not provide service past May 31, 2020.

We appreciate the efforts that all of you are making to meet this deadline, but with the pandemic that has touched each of us, we have made the determination that we need to extend this deadline so that you can complete your transition to another site and be ready for the end of life of LightCMS.

We will continue to host the LightCMS Service until October 31, 2020, our revised Last Date of Service.

After the Last Date of Service you will have thirty (30) days to retrieve Customer Data from the LightCMS Service environment; at the end of that period you will no longer have access to the LightCMS Service or Customer Data and your Websites as described in the LightCMS Terms of Service.

Please ensure that all appropriate contacts in your company are made aware of this notice.

Thank you for being a valued customer and if you have any questions, please contact us via the LightCMS support team.
