Snap Core First out of the Windows Store UPDATE

 Hey Tek-ninjas, here's a quick update to this post about the eminent move of Snap Core First out of the Windows Store. I blogged about it here a few days ago. Initially this was to happen October 23rd, but it has since been pushed to mid-November. 

Tobii Dynavox says it will send out another email when the date is nailed down. Then the automated migration process will be available for you to initiate. Once you start the process, they will back up your user(s), download the new version of Snap Core First, and set up your user(s) and Page Set(s). Any purchases you’ve made will be carried over to the new version as well. 

While the company says it will be entirely safe, I recommend backing all your pertinent profiles up, before running the process just to be extra safe.

If you decide that you do not want to migrate your app, you can continue using it as is. However, you will not receive software updates after that date. As a reminder, this change only affects the Windows version of the app.

iOS versions will continue to update and run as usual.

You will be able to initiate the migration on the day of the release or later – you can decide when to begin the migration. If you decide that you do not want to migrate your app, you can continue using it as is. However, you will not continue to receive Snap Core First updates. 

If you haven’t already, watch this short step-by-step video above the company created to help walk you through the process or read this short Quick Guide. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact support directly.

I hope that helps!
