    Hello,

    Would you know if the "change in service level by 30th Sep 2026" means there will be no more "Extended program support" that was there for about one year more since a product's marketing withdrawal, or is it just a different wording for the "service extension offering available?"

    My interpretation is that it is a rewording for going from regular service to Extended Service Program.  Read the following for more details. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7366036078094458880/
