In a recent blog, we mentioned the progress we're making in updating our products to support OAuth 2.0. For those unfamiliar with this issue, there has been a slow deprecation of Office365 and Gmail services using Basic Authentication, which has impacted the use of many of our products.

Act! users are loyal. At least once a week (or more) a customer will tell me they've used Act! since it was in DOS, or from some time in the late 80's, early 90's.

In the past, Act! Pro users who wanted to upgrade to Premium, had to uninstall Pro, restart their computer, and then install Premium. If those same people wanted to go in the opposite direction, namely Premium to Pro, they had to repeat the same steps, but remember to downgrade their data file in advance of this change.
