Sunset of Signals Notebook Individual Edition and ChemDraw Cloud

Signals Notebook Individual Edition and ChemDraw Cloud (both of which Stanford libraries previously licensed and distributed through 12/31/2024) will experience End of Life on March 1st, 2025. If you use the following URLs to access Signals Notebook or ChemDraw Cloud, you will be affected:

https://signalsresearch.revvitycloud.com/
https://chemdraweln.signalsresearch.revvitycloud.com/
https://chemdraw.signalsresearch.revvitycloud.com/

After March 1st, 2025, access to these accounts and data stored within the platform will no longer be available. All data will be deleted and unrecoverable after Signals Notebook Individual Edition and ChemDraw Cloud reach End of Life. 

It is recommended that users backup and export all data stored in the application to avoid data loss. If you want to download your data as a backup, follow the instructions here.

If you want to migrate your data to the Signals Notebook Standard, please fill out the Signals ChemDraw and Notebook Request Form to request an account for the new site license. Once your new account is created, information to migrate data from Signals Individual Edition to Standard Edition is available here.
