</table>## Migrating from Legal Simple Contracts to Contract Management Pro

Legal Simple Contracts is being deprecated.

-   For new customers, it is now hidden and no longer available.
-   For existing customers, it will continue to function, but is no longer supported.

For details, see the [Deprecation Process \[KB0867184\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0867184) article in the Now Support knowledge base.

You can migrate your data from Legal Simple Contracts to Contract Management Pro to start using the additional features available.

For more information on migration, see [Migrating to Contract Management Pro for Legal Service Delivery](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/legal-simple-contracts/migration-landing-page.md).

**Important:** The migration script is designed only for migrating data from Legal Simple Contracts to the Legal Contract Repository, which applies specifically to Contract Management Pro for Legal Service Delivery.

Contract Management Pro for Legal Service Delivery is a licensed application that must be installed separately.
