Important Announcement
End of Life of Ultra Intelligence & Communications’ KeyperPLUS – Updated 1 October 2023
The purpose of this announcement is to inform you that KeyperPLUS, one of our Hardware Security Module (HSM) products, has reached End Of Life (EOL). This decision has been made after careful consideration and is part of our ongoing effort to continuously improve and innovate our product offerings.
As per the prior EOL notice issued in March 2023, KeyperPLUS will no longer be sold after 12 months from 6 March 2023, subject to available remaining stock.
This position remains unchanged with respect to the product. However, as a result of existing customer feedback received to the EOL notice published in March 2023, we have taken the decision to extend our offer to provide support and maintenance for the product by 2 years from 31 March 2025 to now until 31 March 2027, unless otherwise contractually agreed.
We understand that this change may impact your business and would like to assure you that we are committed to minimising any disruption, and as such have extended our support end date. Our team is available to discuss alternative solutions that may meet your needs.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns regarding this notice.
Faithfully,
