====== Ahsay Upgrade Advisory (#29007) - Amazon Certificate Authority Change ======

We like to remind all partners who are using Amazon S3 storage for either predefined destination on AhsayCBS v7 & v8 and or as standard destination on AhsayOBM/AhsayACB v7 & v8. That due to a change in certificate authority by Amazon.com, Inc. **on or before March 23rd 2021**, any AhsayCBS server and or AhsayOBM/AhsayACB clients not running **v8.5.0.63 or above** may experience interruption in backup or restore to Amazon S3 storage accounts.

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/how-to-prepare-for-aws-move-to-its-own-certificate-authority/

Therefore all affected partners are strongly recommended to **upgrade to all AhsayCBS backup servers and AhsayOBM\AhsayACB clients to v8.5.0.63 or above as soon as possible**, to avoid any interruption in backup services.
