With the release of SharePoint Workspace (ie Groove 2010), Microsoft will be
officially ending its support for Groove 3.1. You can read more here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974478/

If you need help with securing the information you have in Groove 3.1 or are
looking for help migrating your data out of Groove into some other platform
such as SharePoint, SharePoint Workspace, SQL Server or wherever, please get
in touch and I'll try to help you work through your options.

Hi Mark,
Do you know how we will be able to manage users previously purchased Groove
3.1 licenses once Microsoft remove the My Groove Account pages?

Thanks,

Hi,

While you will not be able to revoke licenses from users, you will still be
able to provide users with the activation code you have been using all along
for 3.1 activations and they should still activate.

Hi Shawn,

Hosted Management Services will still be available, just not supported. You
do NOT need any server products to use SharePoint Workspace 2010. However if
you want to use a Managed Environment, you can use the Groove Management and
Groove Relay Servers 2010. Groove Data Bride has been discontinued for 2010
although GDB 2007 will still be supported.
