Looking Beyond MAP Toolkit
Updated 30.1.2020
At Inspire 2019, Microsoft announced that development will be ending for MAP Toolkit - short for Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit. Instead, Microsoft will focus on the new Azure Migrate product. While it's capable of agentless scanning like MAP Toolkit, it's built to assist with "lift-and-shift" migration programs.

Update your remote devices from version 5, 6, 7 to version 9 now!
Updated 24.1.2020
As announced before - and as some of you may have noticed in the past few days - Teamviewer disconnected versions 5, 6, and 7 from the servers on January 15th, 2020. The license holders were contacted via email, informing them about the discontinuation and providing an upgrade to TeamViewer 9 without any cost. Unfortunately, Teamviewer received feedback from some customers that they did not receive this email. We immediately investigated and found an issue in our emailing system, which had caused this error. Teamviewer has fixed the issue and apologizes for any inconvenience caused. Since some customers could not update their remote endpoints to TeamViewer version 9 before January 15th, 2020, Teamviewer decided to re-activate TeamViewer Version 5, 6 and 7 until February 5th, 2020. You are now again able to connect to those devices and make remote updates during the connection. We kindly ask you to update your remote machines to TeamViewer 9 at the earliest convenience, but latest until February 5th, 2020.

Magnet IEF End of Sale Announcement
Updated 14.1.2020
On July 1, 2021, Magnet Forensics will stop selling licenses of Magnet IEF and IEF modules. As a result of the overwhelming adoption of AXIOM by customers around the world, and the technical limits of the aging IEF platform, Magnet announces the end the sale of IEF on July 1, 2021. We strongly recommend that if you are an existing IEF customer, you upgrade to AXIOM prior to July 1, 2021.
As IEF is a valued tool, you may need to continue using it after July 1, 2021. With that in mind, Magnet Forensics will continue to support IEF customers who choose not to upgrade, via a limited time Extended Life SMS Program. The necessary resources will be assigned to maintain this special program to ensure you stay supported. As such, the cost of the Extended Life SMS will increase above current annual IEF SMS subscriptions.
