For 2020 Redgate is making some changes to some of the historic products and bundles that up to now we still offer support on. This guide will let you know what is changing, how the changes may affect you and what you'll see on your renewals and in the customer portal.
As a basic rule, your support cost should not drastically change, all serial numbers should work as expected and you will have perpetual access to any unsupported products removed from bundles you have purchased.
Some of our older products have changed name
The products below have been renamed since purchase. On your renewal and in the customer portal it may still show as the old name. When you renew support or administer the license you will see the new name.

New product name |
.NET Performance Pack |
.NET Developer Bundle |

SQL Backup Professional |

We're simplifying the editions on some of our products
For SQL Backup, there is ostensibly no change, the new product edition will be seen in the customer portal and shown on the renewal.
For SQL Multi Script, we're removing the number of servers restriction, the product will still work as normal. Pricing at renewal time will be based on the list price of the original product purchased.

We're stopping support for some of our older bundles
The good news is, we'll be converting your support to the nearest equivalent bundle. In some cases this will mean giving you access to additional products.
Where we have retired some of the products in the bundle you'll still be able to use them in perpetuity using the same serial key. They’ll appear in the portal as a separate product rather than part of the bundle you purchased and you will not be able to be renew them.
Where additional products are added, these will be given at no extra cost and the price at renewal time will based on the previous list price of the original bundle purchased.
