Users of Family Tree Maker 2 & 3 for Mac and 2012 & 2014 for Windows would no longer have any connectivity to Ancestry.

Ancestry connectivity, including TreeSync, the ability to synchronize a Family Tree Maker tree with one at Ancestry, was turned off on, with its replacement, called FamilySync, to be turned on 31 Mar. At that time, connectivity with Ancestry was also extended until its replacement could be rolled out. While the MacKiev dot-one versions were put on sale within 2 months, they were not officially released as free updates to the current versions until.

At the same time as this announcement, Software MacKiev promised free updates for owners of the then-current versions.
