Passport Sails Into the Sunset

Saturday 12 May 2007

The desktop application retires June 5

As we introduce MLXchange 3.0, we'll also be waving "good-bye" to MLS Passport. Passport, which has served our subscribers well for years, will be sunset on June 5.

Passport relies on downloading the MLS database to your computer to be accessed later by the desktop application. In the early days of the Internet, we didn't have the technology to provide the sophisticated searches and applications you required with an online application, and Passport provided a perfect solution. But in the past several years, not only have our online applications caught up with Passport's capabilities, they have surpassed them.

With only a hand full of subscribers still using Passport, and considering the sizable expense of keeping Passport updated, your MFRMLS Board of Directors voted to sunset Passport on June 5. If you are a loyal Passport user, contact the MFR Help Desk, and we'll be happy to help you make the transition to MLXchange.
