As a company that strongly believes that its community is its foundation, Progress strives to continuously provide customer experiences that are meaningful, engaging and seamless. As a part of this journey, we are delighted to announce that we are migrating from our current support site to freshly-minted Progress Support and Learning Hubs. As our community continues to grow and evolve, we believe these new hubs will provide you with enhanced opportunities to engage and connect with us at Progress.
We are excited to have you explore our new sites. Read on to learn how this change benefits you.
Why Are We Migrating?
Until now, the Progress Kemp LoadMaster support sites have been hosted on https://support.kemptechnologies.com. On November 12, we will move our support to the all-new Progress Support and Learning Hubs hosted on https://community.progress.com/s/.
In addition to standardizing our processes to align with the rest of the Progress portfolio, the new Support and Learning Hub offers additional functionality and benefits, such as deeper search capabilities, notifications and other features unavailable on our previous support site. Rest assured that we have planned this migration meticulously to provide a seamless transfer. Read on to learn more about the benefits.

What Should You Do?
If you already have an existing Progress ID or recent Kemp ID, you don’t have to do anything at all. You can log into the new site with the same credentials, and you’ll find that your profile, downloads and tickets will all be there.
As with any change, we understand you might be concerned about your existing profile and data from the previous support site. Rest assured that we have planned this migration meticulously to help provide a more seamless transfer.
- For those of you who have both a Kemp ID and Progress ID with the same email address, you can transition to the new site with your Progress ID.
- If you only have a Kemp ID and have used it in the last six years, Progress will migrate you to a Progress ID, using the same credentials.
- If you have a Kemp ID and have not used it in the last six years, you will need to register for a new Progress ID by visiting: https://secure.progress.com/profile/opn/registerUid. Note that you will need to create this ID with the same email address as your Kemp ID in order for your licenses to be located and linked to your new account.
If you are worried about your bookmarked links, rest assured that they will be redirected to the new site. Additionally, the new site contains onboarding videos that will help you perform tasks faster.
However, if you do not yet have a Progress ID, please click here to create one today.
