Dear Valued Customers and Preferred Distributors,

This letter provides notification that PTC Kepware will begin the End-of-Life process for its ClientAce product on September 6, 2020.

This product is being discontinued due to market demand, shifts in technology and an alignment in roadmap investment to focus on Kepware’s cornerstone, connectivity. There will not be a direct replacement for ClientAce offered by PTC.  Several modern technology solutions exist in the market today as alternatives and we encourage you to explore these solutions and determine which is best-suited to your organization’s objectives.

We understand that this announcement may be unwelcome news.  To facilitate the transition, we are supplying resources for assisting with the End-of-Life transition process.
