This legacy client, deprecated as it is, should be removed from the computers before a gang of IT-thugs is using it as a stepping stone to enter a system. I think there is an external reason as well to close it down: We have a more and more hostile web environment, with malware of all kinds, driving an evil industry of stealing data and ransom attacks. In this case better tell people with a red alert that this software will be closed down for good in (say) 6 months, and offer some help (YT, help documents, support) in making the shift. Or you draw a gun, and shoot it to make everybody aware that, yes, it is dead for sure. You can now be social, talk with people about how horses die, show that it is not moaning even when pinched, or wait until it starts to smell.

The horse is dead already, although some fellow users insist to continue to ride it. Yes for the communication, no for the outcome.

If they know they run an deprecated software, or if they doesn't: Does this change anything ? I know it's just anecdotal, but I had an Evernote account for 8+ years before I finally started coming to the forums. Usually people on these forums are more dialed in and there is a lot of good info here, but I'm betting the high majority of Evernote users don't even know there is a forum. They have/had no clue they were on a legacy version and you have to manually download and install Version 10 the first time. You ask them what version number they are using and often they don't know how to provide that information. I've seen quite a few people state on Reddit - and actually, even here in the forums - 'I'm on the latest version.' They think they are on the latest version because they go to the in-app 'check for updates' menu and it would say 'No new updates'. There is a lot of information to be found here already in the forums as well. Also plenty of posts stating they have upgraded and then reverted back to Legacy or left EN entirely and have given their reasons why. There have been plenty of forum posts complaining about upgrade nags.

To be honest though, I have to believe that anyone that uses the app even a little must know there is a new version out there. Increasing communication with users is always a great and welcome idea.
