Reminders regarding new Terms and Conditions

Dear FIWARE lab user, 

as you know we are going to introduce some changes in the behaviour of the Lab as a consequence of the new Terms and Conditions. This email is a reminder of few things you have to take into account to continue enjoying FIWARE Lab.

1. Spain1 and Prague regions will not be available anymore so if you have cloud resources deployed there and your Community Account request has been accepted, please, migrate those resources to Spain2 region. 

2. If you have created your account before April 15th and you have accepted the new T&C, from May 1st you will be a Trial user and you will be able to operate only in Spain2 region. So if you have resources in other regions, please, migrate them to Spain2 region. From May 1st and as a Trial user, you will have a 14 days period to continue using the platform in Spain2 region. Then you can apply for a Community Account to have a longer term environment for working on FIWARE Cloud following the application process.

3. In the cloud environment only organizations linked to the FIWARE accounts could be used. Organizations that you create “by hand” using the Account Portal interface, could not be used in the cloud scope. But don’t worry, you will be able to share access to that organization by authorizing other users in it. The default name of the organization linked to your account will be “your_email cloud” (for instance “example at domain.com cloud”) but you will be able to modify it. Take into account that other organizations will not be accesible from the Cloud Portal anymore so, please, migrate all the resources to your account-linked organization before May 1st. The current name of that organization fits with your user name.
      
After May 1st and as a consequence of these 3 points, FIWARE Lab providers will not be responsible for the loss of any data.

If you have not applied for a Community account and your Trial period has expired, you will be able to continue using all FIWARE Lab capacities except cloud environment. Using the Account Portal you will be able to manage your organizations, your users and your applications in order to provide authentication and authorization in your services as you are doing now, via OAuth2 protocol and GEs such as Wilma PEP Proxy or AuthZForce. You have only to take into account two updates when the new FIWARE Account release is deployed the first week of May: 

- If you are using organizations ids in your application or GE you have to convert them adding as many zeros as necessary to make them 32 chars length. For instance, the organization “241” now will be “00000000000000000000000000000241”.
- If you are using users ids in your application or GE you have to take into account that the new unique identifier will be the one that now is retrieved as “nickName” field.

Please, take the opportune actions to update your environments according this.
