  SkyKick's own lifecycle surface is gone. The company was acquired by ConnectWise
  in September 2024 and its products now ship as ConnectWise Cloud Backup and
  ConnectWise SaaS Security. As of 2026-08-28 skykick.com returns a generic
  "Site Not Configured | 404 Not Found" for every path and www.skykick.com does not
  resolve, so any versioning, deprecation or SLA policy SkyKick once published at
  that domain is no longer retrievable. What is recorded here is the successor
  surface, and every claim names the ConnectWise page it came from.

      The zone is still administered (Azure DNS nameservers, live Microsoft 365 MX,
      SPF and several domain-verification TXT records) but no web content is served
      and no subdomain of skykick.com resolves — status., docs., help., trust.,
      developers., api. were all probed and all failed to resolve.

  note: >-
    The former SkyKick services are monitored by name as first-class components on
    the ConnectWise status page, which is why this pointer is attributed here.
versioning:
  policy_published: false
  scheme: unknown
  note: >-
    No version segment appears in any published path and no versioning policy is
    readable anonymously.
deprecation:
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: unknown
  rfc8594: unknown
  note: >-
    No deprecation policy, Sunset/Deprecation header commitment, or end-of-life
    notice is published on any anonymously readable page. Not wired as a
    Deprecation pointer in apis.yml for exactly that reason.
sla:

  note: >-
    Service commitments live in the ConnectWise Master Agreement
    (https://www.connectwise.com/company/terms), not on a public API SLA page.

  note: >-
    A product roadmap exists but is gated behind the ConnectWise University sign-in,
    so no Roadmap pointer is emitted.
