We are not discontinuing or removing access to Adobe Animate. Animate will continue to be available for both current and new customers, and we will ensure you continue to have access to your content. There is no longer a deadline or date by which Animate will no longer be available. These are changes from what we shared in our original email.

Adobe Animate is in maintenance mode for all customers. This applies to individual, small business, and enterprise customers.  

Maintenance mode means we will continue to support the application and provide ongoing security and bug fixes, but we are no longer adding new features. Animate will continue to be available for both new and existing users - we will not be discontinuing or removing access to Adobe Animate.  

We are committed to ensuring Animate users have access to their content regardless if the state of development changes.  

Adobe Animate is in maintenance mode indefinitely - we have no plans to  discontinue or remove access to Adobe Animate.
