Migrating from ACG to Pluralsight: FAQ

We want to provide all our customers—including longtime Gurus—the most value possible, so we’ve created new offerings in an integrated experience on Pluralsight with the best features and content from both Pluralsight and ACG.

Pluralsight Skills is our technology learning platform. While we often refer to it simply as "Pluralsight" or "Skills," rest assured these names refer to the same learning experience.

ACG customers will migrate to Pluralsight in 2025.

For customers with personal ACG memberships:

• If your membership renews annually in March or monthly, you’ll be migrated on your renewal date in March 2025.
• If your membership renews annually in a month other than March, you’ll be migrated in April.
• If you purchased an ACG membership through the ACG mobile app, see Migrating your ACG mobile subscription to Pluralsight for further instructions.
• If you have a personal ACG membership and you also have paid access to Pluralsight, you’ll receive further communication about your migration via email.
• If you use PayPal to pay for your ACG membership, you’ll be migrated at a later date.

All ACG Personal memberships will migrate to the Complete subscription, and all ACG Business plans will migrate to the Everything plan.

Complete and Everything are all-in packages that include not just cloud content, but all content domains in Pluralsight’s library. You’ll also enjoy full access to hands-on features, assessment tools, and certification prep. See the updated plan comparison to learn what’s included in these offerings.

If you’re an admin on a business plan, reference the Admin migration checklist to prepare your plan to migrate and get your team excited about the journey ahead.

If you’re a learner on a business plan or you have a personal membership, use the ACG to Pluralsight learner guide to familiarize yourself with your new plan. You can find these and more resources in the ACG migration hub.

You won’t experience any platform downtime during migration. After your migration is complete, you’ll be redirected to Pluralsight when you sign in with your ACG credentials.

Users with an individual ACG subscription will migrate to the Complete subscription with their historical data.

For business plans, every active ACG user will be migrated to the new Pluralsight Everything plan with their historical data. Inactive users will also be migrated, but won’t have a learner license in Pluralsight. Any users who haven’t verified their email in ACG will not be migrated.

• Students on ACG plans become learners in Pluralsight and receive a learner license.
• Team coordinators in ACG who are assigned one or more teams become team managers with limited permissions in Pluralsight.

  Note: If a team coordinator isn’t assigned any teams in ACG, they’ll still be migrated to the plan, but they won’t be assigned the team manager role in Pluralsight. An admin must assign them to a team prior to migration, or re-assign the team manager role after migration.

• Admins in ACG are also admins in Pluralsight.
• Deactivated users in ACG become Free accounts in Pluralsight.
• Reporting groups and teams set up in ACG migrate as teams in Pluralsight.

Not all plan data will be available on day one, but will continue to populate the week after your migration date—admins can consult Post-migration tasks for details.

We’ll continue to maintain the ACG platform until all existing customers are migrated to Pluralsight, at which time we’ll sunset the ACG platform and the overall brand. We appreciate the positive impact that the ACG brand and Guru community has on our customers, and we intend to honor that spirit moving forward.

With a few exceptions, ACG video courses have been republished on Pluralsight. Retired or outdated content has not been brought over.

See the Legacy Course Crosswalk (PDF, opens in new tab) and Legacy Practice Exams Crosswalk (PDF, opens in new tab) to see which retired ACG courses and practice exams have replacement courses and practice exams in Pluralsight, and see Differences between ACG and Pluralsight content for more about Pluralsight’s approach to content and curation.

Reference the table below for details on which features are coming over, which have equivalent experiences in Pluralsight, and which are being retired.

The following data will be migrated to Pluralsight:

• User account data
• Hands-on activity, lab completion, sandbox activity, and cloud servers
• Video course completion
• Practice exam and quiz completion
• Certifications entered on your profile
• Reporting groups and teams

For business plans, the above learner data will also appear in analytics—see Understand Pluralsight reporting for details.

The following data will not be migrated:

• Historical Linux Academy course activity and completion
• Custom learning paths and reporting
• Study groups and reporting

  Note: Individual progress in courses taken as part of a study group or learning path on ACG will remain captured as course data at the learner level.

• Accelerator programs

  Note: If an accelerator program is in progress during migration, learners will continue to receive reminder emails after migration.

For admins on business plans, please reference Save historical data if you’d like to preserve this information.

In the future, all Pluralsight customers will use the same sign-in page. In the meantime:

• Migrated users will continue to sign in at learn.acloud.guru/login (opens in new tab). Use your existing ACG credentials on this page, and you’ll be redirected to Pluralsight when you sign in.

  

• If your team plan uses single sign-on (SSO), continue to sign in via your organization’s SSO app catalog, SSO URL, or the SSO option on the ACG sign-in page. You’ll be redirected to Pluralsight when you sign in.

  

See Signing in to Pluralsight or ACG for step-by-step instructions, FAQs, and troubleshooting. If you need to change your password or email address, see Managing your account after migration.

When you migrate to Pluralsight, your billing address and payment methods will migrate with you. However, your billing history will not be transferred to Pluralsight—download your invoices to save them for reference before you migrate, or contact Support to access them after your migration.

If you have an ACG personal membership, unless you purchased it from within the ACG mobile app, you’ll keep your current base price and billing term when you migrate, and you’ll retain that price for as long as your subscription remains active on Pluralsight. See your current price in the Membership tab (opens in new tab). Customers who originally paid for their membership within the mobile app won’t retain their current price.

For admins on business plans, any changes to your billing and pricing will occur at your next renewal—work with your account representative to discuss pricing.

If there are courses you started in ACG that are still in-progress, you can access them from Pluralsight for 60 days after your migration.

These courses are listed on your Pluralsight home page in the Continue learning section. Clicking in-progress courses will link you back to the ACG platform to complete these courses—and these courses only—and sync your progress in Pluralsight.

You have 60 days after your migration to complete in-progress courses. Otherwise, you will lose that course progress and will need to restart the course from the beginning in Pluralsight if you want to include it in your learning history.

Once you’ve migrated to Pluralsight, download the Pluralsight mobile app (opens in new tab) and follow the instructions to sign in with device authorization.

You’ll retain access to ACG on the web and mobile app for 60 days after your migration date so you can complete any in-progress courses. After the majority of customers have been migrated, the A Cloud Guru mobile app will be retired.

You cannot transfer any existing LMS integrations you have with ACG over to Pluralsight. You must set up a new Pluralsight connector after you migrate. Work with your account representative to work this into your migration plan.

APIs for ACG Business plans will be replaced with Pluralsight’s APIs, which we’ve enriched to include ACG data. You’ll need to use the new APIs after migration. See Revisit integrations and automations for resources.

If you have additional questions or questions specific to your organization, reach out to your account representative.
