Dear Customer,

We want to remind you that support for your Spyder (including Spyder5 and earlier models) is ending July 19, 2026.

What this means for you after July 19th:

• You won’t be able to install your Spyder on new computers
• Our support team will no longer support issues on Spyder5 and older devices
• You can still use your Spyder on currently installed computers

We invite you to join the 4,000+ photographers and creators who have already upgraded to our most advanced Spyder platform, delivering improved performance, enhanced compatibility, and strengthened security - and for a limited time, you can make the switch for 50% off.

Thank you for being part of the Spyder community.

Warm regards,

The Datacolor Team
