3535
- Classic experience is scheduled for deprecation on **30 March 2026**. We recommend using the **simplified experience** for initiating agent-based replication of any new VMware or physical servers.
3636
>[!NOTE]

>Classic experience will not support starting replications on new servers after **October 30, 2025**.
38-
- Servers currently replicating using the classic experience will be supported until **March 30, 2026**. We recommend completing your migrations before this date.
3938
- If you have servers discovered through the replication appliance under the classic experience, ensure replication is initiated before **October 30, 2025**, and plan your subsequent migrations before the deprecation date **(March 30, 2026)**.
39+
- Existing VMware and physical machines can remain on the classic experience until **March 30, 2026**. After **30 March 2026**, changes to any configurations of the replication on these existing VMware and physical machines will require upgrade to the new simplified experience.
40+
41+
- Support for new features or improvements, along with mobility agent support for new Linux distros, will only be available on the simplified experience.
42+
43+
- If you do not migrate your machines by **March 30, 2026**, the replication health of your machines may be disrupted and you will no longer be able to view, manage, or perform any operations through the Azure portal.

## Move your existing replications on classic experience to simplified experience
46+
>[!NOTE]
47+
> When you migrate physical machines and VMware machines using agent based migration, the tool uses the same replication architecture as agent-based disaster recovery in Azure Site Recovery. Some components share the same code base and some content might link to Site Recovery documentation. **Simplified experience** is referred to as **Modernized experience** under Site recovery documentation.

49+
Follow these steps to move your existing replications to the simplified experience:
50+
51+
1. [Check the required infrastructure for your setup](../site-recovery/move-from-classic-to-modernized-vmware-disaster-recovery.md#how-to-define-required-infrastructure) and the [FAQs](../site-recovery/classic-to-modernized-common-questions.md) for all related information.
52+
2. [Check the architecture and minimum version of all components](../site-recovery/move-from-classic-to-modernized-vmware-disaster-recovery.md#architecture) required for this migration.
53+
3. Check all the [resources required](../site-recovery/move-from-classic-to-modernized-vmware-disaster-recovery.md#required-infrastructure) and deploy the [replication appliance](tutorial-migrate-physical-virtual-machines.md#simplified-experience-recommended).
54+
4. [Prepare the classic Recovery Services vault](../site-recovery/move-from-classic-to-modernized-vmware-disaster-recovery.md#prepare-classic-recovery-services-vault) used by your existing replications.
55+
5. [Prepare the simplified/modernized Recovery Services vault](../site-recovery/move-from-classic-to-modernized-vmware-disaster-recovery.md#prepare-modernized-recovery-services-vault) where your appliance has been registered.
56+
6. [Trigger migration for your existing replications](../site-recovery/how-to-move-from-classic-to-modernized-vmware-disaster-recovery.md).
