IMPORTANT NOTICE: FootSteps Classic Is Shutting Down On 02/27/21
FootSteps™ Classic Will Shut Down on February 27, 2021
We are committed to providing a secure environment for our FootSteps customers and as such, a decision has been made to retire FootSteps™ Classic on February 27, 2021. This will prevent any potential security vulnerabilities in FootSteps Classic and keep the FootSteps product safe for your use.
Prior to the shutdown date, users of FootSteps Classic must transfer operations to the latest version, FootSteps 3.0, to continue using the FootSteps product without interruption.
FootSteps Classic users already have access to FootSteps 3.0, which will remain in operation until the product is retired on June 01, 2021. You can continue to use your existing credentials and the same website (e.g. footsteps.net) to access FootSteps 3.0. The same customer and lead data is accessible in both versions of FootSteps.
If you don’t have access to FootSteps 3.0, please contact our Support Team at 800-558-9044 or askus@arinet.com.
