End of sale is the point when a vendor stops selling a product to new customers while existing customers keep using it; Salesforce CPQ has been end of sale since March 2025.
A worked example
Example, with made-up numbers: a team runs Salesforce CPQ for 40 users and its renewal is due on 1 June. End of sale changes nothing about that renewal. The team can renew, add 10 users for a new hiring class and keep getting support. What it won't get is anything new: the Winter '27 quoting features ship in Agentforce Revenue Management, not in the package it runs. So the real question is whether to renew as-is again next year, and the answer sets the start date of any move. A full Revenue Cloud Advanced rebuild runs 12–18 months in practice, so that path starts more than a year before the renewal it is meant to beat. A move from Salesforce CPQ to Kugamon typically takes 4–8 weeks, so it fits in the quarter before.
End of sale is not end of life
The common mistake is treating end of sale as a deadline. End of life is when a vendor stops supporting a product, and Salesforce has announced no such date for CPQ; shutdown dates that circulate on third-party blogs are not Salesforce's. Rushed migrations come from that confusion. The accurate picture is calmer: you have time, the product won't improve, the documentation has thinned (Salesforce retired the online CPQ help in July 2026 in favor of a single PDF), and each renewal is a decision point. The side-by-side is in end of sale vs end of life, the dates are on the end-of-sale timeline, and the latest news is in what Winter '27 means for CPQ customers.
In Salesforce
Salesforce CPQ, the SBQQ managed package, has been end of sale since March 2025: Salesforce sells no new licenses to new customers. It is not end of life. No end-of-life date has been announced, existing customers can renew, add users and get support, and there is no forced migration. Salesforce calls this a maintenance phase: support and critical fixes, but no new features. New quoting goes into Agentforce Revenue Management. Winter '27, generally available October 12, 2026, put buyer, partner and renewal quoting there, not in Salesforce CPQ. Salesforce's migration assistant from CPQ to Revenue Cloud is a December 2026 roadmap target, not a released tool.
How Kugamon handles it
Kugamon's own product is on sale and in active development, with one or more major releases a month, delivered as managed package upgrades (kugo2p, kuga_sub). For a team on Salesforce CPQ it is one of the paths after end of sale. It prices from the same standard Product and Price Book objects, so the catalog stays where it is and admin skills transfer, and a move from Salesforce CPQ typically takes 4–8 weeks. The CPQ edition is $65 per user per month, a quarter of Revenue Cloud Advanced's $200, with a fixed implementation fee of $15K–$30K by edition.
