Beginning September 30, 2024, Azure AD Multi-Factor Authentication Server deployments will no longer service multifactor authentication (MFA) requests, which could cause authentications to fail for your organization. To ensure uninterrupted authentication services and to remain in a supported state, organizations should [migrate their users’ authentication data](how-to-migrate-mfa-server-to-azure-mfa-user-authentication.md) to the cloud-based Azure MFA service by using the latest Migration Utility included in the most recent [Azure MFA Server update](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=55849). For more information, see [Azure MFA Server Migration](how-to-migrate-mfa-server-to-azure-mfa.md).

 > To get started with cloud-based MFA, see [Tutorial: Secure user sign-in events with Azure AD Multi-Factor Authentication](tutorial-enable-azure-mfa.md).

-> Existing customers that activated MFA Server before July 1, 2019 can download the latest version, future updates, and generate activation credentials as usual.
