What does Salesforce CPQ End of Sale mean?

Salesforce CPQ reached End of Sale on March 27, 2025. New customers can no longer purchase classic Salesforce CPQ, while existing customers can renew and continue receiving support. End of Sale is a sales-availability milestone, not an immediate shutdown of the product or a requirement for existing customers to replace their quoting system.

Do existing Salesforce CPQ customers have to migrate immediately?

Existing Salesforce CPQ customers do not have to migrate immediately because of End of Sale. Salesforce CPQ remains supported for existing customers and renewals remain available. A migration decision should follow quoting requirements, operational needs, and a planned comparison of successor and alternative platforms, rather than assume End of Sale creates a forced migration deadline.

Has Salesforce announced a Salesforce CPQ End of Life date?

As of September 6, 2026, Salesforce has not announced an official End of Life date for Salesforce CPQ. Industry estimates project a possible full end of life around 2029-2030, but those estimates are not a Salesforce-confirmed deadline. Existing customers should distinguish projections from official product notices when setting a planning horizon.

What is Revenue Cloud Advanced?

Revenue Cloud Advanced is the named successor product to classic Salesforce CPQ. Revenue Cloud Advanced belongs to the Revenue Cloud offering that Salesforce rebranded as Agentforce Revenue Management in Spring '26. Existing Salesforce CPQ customers should assess moving to the successor as a platform transition with business and integration implications, rather than assume it is a simple rename of their installed CPQ product.

Is Revenue Cloud now called Agentforce Revenue Management?

Salesforce rebranded Revenue Cloud as Agentforce Revenue Management in its Spring '26 release. Buyers may encounter Revenue Cloud Advanced and Agentforce Revenue Management terminology in the same evaluation. The branding change does not mean classic Salesforce CPQ was automatically converted into the successor, and does not itself force existing Salesforce CPQ customers to migrate.

What would migrating from Salesforce CPQ involve?

A Salesforce CPQ migration should begin with a review of quoting rules, data dependencies, integrations, and the people who operate the process. The assessment compares existing business requirements with Revenue Cloud Advanced or another target platform and defines how continuity will be validated. Specific technical migration steps depend on the actual configuration and should not be assumed from product names alone.

Does Lightbridge Cloud partner with Salesforce for CPQ?

No. Lightbridge Cloud is not a Salesforce partner and has no vendor incentive for moving a client to Revenue Cloud Advanced, retaining classic Salesforce CPQ, or selecting another platform. CPQ is selection advisory with hands-on delivery through vetted partners under Lightbridge Cloud's project management and technical leadership. Lightbridge Cloud's in-house Salesforce CRM practice does not include a CPQ delivery bench.

How should a company decide whether to migrate Salesforce CPQ or switch platforms?

A company should compare retaining Salesforce CPQ, moving to Revenue Cloud Advanced, and choosing an alternative against quoting complexity, integration needs, operating effort, and business change. Lightbridge Cloud evaluates those options without vendor kickbacks, reseller quotas, or partner-tier incentives. New customers cannot purchase classic Salesforce CPQ; existing customers can renew while completing a deliberate platform assessment.

Salesforce CPQ End of Sale: what it means for buyers.

Lightbridge Cloud explains Salesforce CPQ End of Sale as a change to new purchases, not an immediate shutdown for existing users. Since March 27, 2025, new customers cannot buy Salesforce CPQ, while existing customers can renew and receive support. Buyers should distinguish this sales milestone from End of Life and assess successor or alternative platforms deliberately.

Salesforce CPQ End of Sale limits new purchases; existing customers remain supported.

Salesforce CPQ reached End of Sale on March 27, 2025. New customers can no longer purchase classic Salesforce CPQ. Existing customers can renew and continue receiving support. End of Sale changes the buying path for a new customer; it does not require a current customer to stop using the product or immediately replace a working quoting system.

As of September 6, 2026, Salesforce has not announced an official End of Life date for Salesforce CPQ. Industry estimates place a possible full end of life around 2029-2030, but those are projections, not a Salesforce-confirmed deadline. A company should not turn that estimate into a mandatory migration date in its plan.

Classic Salesforce CPQ was built on the SteelBrick codebase following Salesforce's acquisition of that business. That background helps explain the product lineage, but the immediate buyer decision is simpler: current customers can plan deliberately, while new buyers need to evaluate the successor or another CPQ platform.

Revenue Cloud Advanced is the Salesforce CPQ successor within Agentforce Revenue Management.

Revenue Cloud Advanced is the named successor product for Salesforce CPQ. In its Spring '26 release, Salesforce rebranded Revenue Cloud as Agentforce Revenue Management. Buyers will encounter both names in product discussions and proposals, so an evaluation should identify the actual product and scope being proposed rather than rely on the label alone.

The Revenue Cloud rebrand does not mean classic Salesforce CPQ was simply renamed into the successor. For an existing CPQ customer, moving to Revenue Cloud Advanced is a platform transition to assess against business requirements. There is no forced migration solely because Salesforce CPQ has reached End of Sale.

A Salesforce CPQ migration starts with a fit and impact assessment.

Moving from Salesforce CPQ to Revenue Cloud Advanced or another platform calls for a review of quoting behavior, surrounding systems, and the effort of changing how teams work. These assessment areas are directional, not a promised technical migration procedure or an assumption that existing configuration transfers automatically.

Quoting and pricing behavior

Document the products, bundles, discount rules, and approval paths that Salesforce CPQ supports today. Separate requirements the business still needs from accumulated configuration that may no longer serve it.

Data and system dependencies

Identify the quote data, integrations, and downstream consumers that depend on Salesforce CPQ. Assess continuity and ownership at a high level before estimating a platform transition.

Operating change and validation

Consider the people who create, approve, and maintain quotes. A migration assessment should define what successful business behavior looks like and how users will validate it on the proposed platform.

Salesforce CPQ customers and new CPQ buyers face different decisions.

An existing Salesforce CPQ customer can renew while evaluating a longer-term direction. A new buyer cannot purchase classic Salesforce CPQ and should compare available platforms now. The decision should follow quoting needs and the business change ahead, rather than treating End of Sale as the same event for every organization.

Existing Salesforce CPQ customer with a stable process

Renewal and support remain available for existing Salesforce CPQ customers. Use the planning window to assess future requirements and avoid a migration justified only by an unconfirmed End of Life estimate.

Existing Salesforce CPQ customer facing major change

A new quoting model, difficult maintenance, or substantial process redesign can justify evaluating Revenue Cloud Advanced and alternatives sooner. The business change should establish the case and timing for a move.

New buyer evaluating Salesforce CPQ

Classic Salesforce CPQ is no longer available for new customers. Evaluate Revenue Cloud Advanced, now within the Agentforce Revenue Management branding, alongside other available CPQ platforms.

Company reconsidering the wider CPQ platform

A company can compare a Salesforce successor with platforms outside Salesforce. Existing CRM investment is relevant, but quote complexity, integration fit, and the operating model should determine the shortlist.

Salesforce CPQ End of Sale is a reason to compare successor and alternative platforms.

A buyer evaluating CPQ should define quote complexity, pricing and bundling rules, approvals, and the systems that receive quote data before selecting a vendor. Revenue Cloud Advanced belongs in the evaluation where the Salesforce ecosystem fits the requirements. Staying on Salesforce CRM does not automatically determine the CPQ choice.

The CPQ platform selection service covers Oracle CPQ, SAP CPQ, Conga, DealHub, PandaDoc, and Experlogix as alternatives. These products do not all serve identical levels of complexity; the shortlist should follow the actual quoting process and integration needs. Compare the full delivery and operating implications, and verify current pricing against each vendor's official sources.

Lightbridge Cloud evaluates whether to retain Salesforce CPQ, migrate, or switch platforms.

Lightbridge Cloud is not a Salesforce partner and has no stake in whether a client migrates to Revenue Cloud Advanced, stays on classic Salesforce CPQ, or chooses a different platform entirely. It accepts no vendor kickbacks, carries no reseller quotas, and holds no partner-tier incentives. The recommendation follows quoting requirements, existing investment, and the organization's capacity for change.

CPQ is a selection-advisory category for Lightbridge Cloud, including Salesforce CPQ and its successor. Hands-on implementation runs through vetted partners under Lightbridge Cloud's own project management and technical leadership. CPQ delivery is separate from Lightbridge Cloud's in-house Salesforce CRM practice; there is no in-house CPQ build bench. See CPQ selection for requirements definition, RFP management, and delivery oversight.
