Answer:
Your service is being migrated on Friday the 1st of March from 10:00pm – 03:00am UTC on Saturday the 2nd March.
Note: The estimated downtime is approximately 5 hours.
After this date, you will use a new URL to access your service, which is displayed on your login page. Your primary account holder will be contacted via email with a confirmation of these details.
To continue to use your service as normal, you may need to make some changes depending on which features of your Act! Premium Cloud service you use. Please see below for guidance.

As you will be accessing your service via a new URL, please make sure to update any web browser bookmarks you may have on your computer or mobile device with your new URL and make sure to distribute this URL to any other Act! Users who may not be aware of this change prior to the date of your migration.
You may find that certain user specific preferences have been reset after logging in via your new URL for the first time. We advise that you use the menu option Tools > Preferences once logged in to your database and confirm that your preferences are set correctly.
Additional preferences that may be affected are those such as Layout Preferences, Customised Columns in List Views/Tabbed areas of the product. You will need to reset these preferences manually.
