Service eligibility and regional restrictions
PuppyIP serves only compliant overseas businesses and their authorized personnel. Proxy services are not available in mainland China. The service may only be used for lawful business activities outside mainland China. Use of this service within mainland China is prohibited.
Hosting a proxy IP or server overseas does not change these restrictions. The service must not be provided to end users in mainland China through relaying, forwarding, sharing or resale. Before use, read the Terms of Service.
Key Takeaways
- The sales stop concerns new Standard and Enterprise subscriptions; existing service and support continue until contract end.
- Adding licenses and annual automatic renewal remain possible through January 31, 2027, then stop.
- Monthly automatic renewal can continue through December 31, 2027; the annual cutoff does not apply to it.
- Google recommends planning for Antigravity through eligible Gemini Enterprise editions, without promising free or automatic migration.
New purchases stop October 9; what happens to current service?
Google Cloud's October 9, 2026 release notes announced an end to new Gemini Code Assist Standard and Enterprise sales. First-time buyers should evaluate officially listed alternatives. No exact hour or governing time zone for the sales stop was provided.
Existing subscribers should not treat today as universal shutdown. The transition guidance says service and support continue until each contract ends. Your contract, not the announcement date alone, determines the final service day.
Why doesn't September's contact-sales option still apply?
September 4 rules restricted console purchases for some Cloud Billing accounts while retaining contact with Google Cloud sales. October 9 ended new Standard and Enterprise sales, so the old route is no longer a current purchase promise.
Distinguish full product names: Gemini Code Assist Enterprise and Gemini Enterprise are different subscriptions. Ending new sales of the former does not cancel all Gemini products or establish the same change to personal Google AI plans.
Which dates apply to annual, monthly, and added seats?
Additional licenses, or team seats, remain available through January 31, 2027, then cannot be added. Compare hiring dates with the current contract. A new subscription and added seats on an existing one are different.
Annual automatic renewal likewise continues through January 31, 2027 and stops after it. Monthly automatic renewal continues through December 31, 2027 and then stops. These are distinct cutoffs, not every customer's service ending next January.
They define renewal and seat boundaries, not each contract's final service day. Exact hours and time zones are unspecified. Confirm purchases around boundary dates with the contract owner instead of converting them to Beijing midnight.
Check three records to build a real migration schedule
First find full product name, annual or monthly billing, next automatic renewal, and contract end in organizational subscription records or the contract. Put them together to distinguish purchase restriction, renewal restriction, and approaching contract end.
Second check license counts and upcoming hires. For expansion crossing January 31, 2027, confirm seats and activation dates with procurement or the contract owner. A continuing monthly subscription does not mean seats can be added indefinitely.
Third reserve time for eligibility checks and a small migration. Confirm target subscription, access, and critical workflows before choosing a switch date. Procurement completion does not migrate every IDE, CLI, or team permission.
Check Antigravity subscription eligibility first
Google identifies Antigravity as a successor agentic coding tool available through eligible Gemini Enterprise subscriptions and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. Existing Code Assist is not automatic alternative-tool eligibility; editions and costs need separate confirmation.
Transition guidance links Antigravity IDE extensions and Gemini CLI migration, including VS Code and JetBrains. Read the guide matching actual team use and verify authorization. It promises no automatic account conversion, configuration transfer, or one-to-one feature parity.
How could an annual-plan team arrange next steps?
Hypothetical, unexecuted example: an annual-plan team expects a developer to join next February. The owner checks contract and renewals, then handles added seats separately. Continued access for existing members does not mean a new Code Assist license can be added in February.
A few approved members can inventory IDE extensions, CLI, permissions, and daily tasks before adopting an alternative. Google recommends planning subscription transition before final renewal or contract end. Let the actual contract and migration readiness set timing instead of guessing from two public cutoffs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can canceling and repurchasing extend access?
New Standard and Enterprise subscriptions cannot be purchased from October 9, so repurchasing is not an extension route. The two announcements do not specify cancellation, refunds, or contract-change terms; check your contract first.
Does changing annual to monthly guarantee service through late 2027?
No. Separate renewal cutoffs do not define an annual-to-monthly conversion mechanism or guarantee every contract can extend that way. Confirm eligibility with the contract owner or Google Cloud.
Must IDE extensions or Gemini CLI be uninstalled immediately?
The notice contains no universal immediate uninstall requirement. Existing commercial subscriptions continue under contract. Follow relevant migration guides and the team's switch plan; stopping new purchases does not invalidate all clients that day.
