Dear VersionTracker customer,

Today we are announcing that we are no longer selling VersionTracker Pro. For 
existing customers like you, we will continue to support your VersionTracker 
Pro subscription through the rest of its term; when the term is over, your 
service will end.

Some of the resources you are used to on VersionTracker.com are now on CNET 
Downloads.

 Information about updates that used to be on VersionTracker.com is now posted 
on CNET Downloads (go towww.download.com and click New Releases).

If you have any questions about your VersionTracker subscription, renewal, or 
VersionTracker.com, please do not hesitate to contact us. To get more 
information, refer to our FAQ about these changes. You can reach VersionTracker 
customer support by clicking the Email Support tab at the top of the FAQ.

We hope you have been satisfied with your VersionTracker Pro service, and we 
thank you for all of your support. The team who brought you VersionTracker Pro 
is now part of the team that brings you CNET Downloads, including the founder 
ofVersionTracker.com himself. You have been with us for a long time, and we 
hope to continue our relationship as we maintain our original mission: to 
provide you with the latest updates and utilities to help keep your computer 
up-to-date.

Thank you for your support,

Aaron Smith
