+
+We're excited to share some important updates to our product offerings and # structure. This change reflects the expanded feature set and helps us continue delivering high-quality components to you and your users.
+
+## Changes to the Pro plan
+
+### Current #
+
+Under our current # model, if you licensed the Pro plan for 50 developers, you only paid for 10 seats. This concept was introduced when we offered only the Data Grid Pro with a much smaller feature set.
+
+### New #
+
+With the launch of several new components, including [Date and Time Range Pickers](/x/react-date-pickers/date-time-range-picker/), as well as upcoming Pro versions of [Charts](/x/react-charts/) and [TreeView](/x/react-tree-view/), we're updating our #.
+
+Moving forward, each developer requires a seat. So, for example, 50 developers will now need 50 seats.
+
+We're happy to discuss volume discounts to accommodate larger teams.
+
+### Grandfathering Current Customers
+
+We value our loyal customers and want to ensure a smooth transition: current customers will be grandfathered into their existing plans.
+
+This means you can continue using and renewing the legacy license for as long as you wish.
+However, the legacy license covers only Data Grid and Date Pickers.
+
+:::info
+**Access to new components:** The Pro versions of Charts and Tree View, and other future Pro components, will be available exclusively through a license key under the new Pro plan model or a Premium key (Premium users will experience no change).
+::::
+
+### # for Small Teams
+
+The price is essentially the same for customers with 10 developers or fewer, but you still need a new license key to use the Pro versions of Charts or Tree View. If that's the case, we recommend you contact our sales team and get a discount to renew your license earlier.
+
+## Changes to the Premium plan
+
+### Ending the early bird discount
+
+After two years since the [introduction of our Premium plan](/blog/premium-plan-release/), we've added numerous features and are on the verge of releasing the Pivot mode for the Data Grid. We consider the product mature and battle tested enough and as a result, the early bird discount for the Premium plan finally reaches its end.
+
+However, we want to ensure that our valued early customers continue to enjoy the benefits of an earlier purchase.
+Current customers will still benefit from a 20% renewal discount.
+You'll receive the discount per email, or by reaching out to our [sales team](mailto:sales@mui.com).
+
+## Effective Date
+
+The new # updates will take effect on September 1st, 2024. However, you can already purchase the new Pro plan today by visiting our [store](https://mui.com/store/items/mui-x-pro-q3-2024/).
+
+### We value your feedback
+
+Your feedback is invaluable to us.
+We invite you to share your thoughts and any questions you might have about these changes.
+Please feel free to contact our [sales team](mailto:sales@mui.com).
+We are here to listen and ensure that our updates meet your needs and expectations.
+
+Thank you for your continued support and for being a part of the MUI community. We look forward to bringing you even more powerful tools and features to help you succeed.
