Manufacturer merger/acquisition for AnchorFree and Pango to Aura

Class 2

Customers should be aware and be prepared

Change Summary

Flexera is going to migrate all products/releases/mappings from old manufacturer name ‘AnchorFree’ and ‘Pango’ to current manufacturer ‘Aura’.

As AnchorFree is now known as Pango, and Pango was acquired by Aura. We will first migrate AnchoFree’s products to Pango, and then migrate Pango’s products to Aura. This is to preserve the lineage history of the manufacturer name changes and acquisition.

Please kindly note, due to the different version history of ‘AnchoFree | Hotspot Shield’ on different platforms, it was added in Technopedia with the wrong name, we will mark this product To Be Deleted and add two new products "AnchorFree | Hotspot Shield for Windows" and "AnchorFree | Hotspot Shield for Mac".

For example, "AnchorFree | Hotspot Shield" --> “AnchorFree | Hotspot Shield for Windows” --> "Pango | Hotspot Shield VPN for Windows" --> "Aura | Hotspot Shield for Windows" and “AnchorFree | Hotspot Shiled for Mac” --> "Pango | Hotspot Shield for macOS" --> "Aura | Hotspot Shield for Mac".

 

Impact

This change will impact customers who have Manufacturer ID/Product ID/Release ID & Names and Discovered Data mappings for‘AnchorFree’, ‘Pango’ and ‘Aura’..

The spreadsheet Migration from AnchorFree and Pango to Aura.xlsx provides the full list of all the Technopedia products for which the manufacturer name will be renamed from AnchorFree and Pango to Aura.

Where would I find the lineage history for a particular Publisher?  Although a company was acquired and we want to know the current intellectual property owner (Publisher), we also want to track contracts that still reside under the existing Publisher.  Thanks!!

Your comment to which I reference:  As AnchorFree is now known as Pango, and Pango was acquired by Aura. We will first migrate AnchoFree’s products to Pango, and then migrate Pango’s products to Aura. This is to preserve the lineage history of the manufacturer name changes and acquisition.
